This is what we call true commitment to your job. Our very own Veena Malik has signed a Telugu film in India. The character that she is playing is a pretty demanding one, so much so that Veena M has put on an extra 10kgs! Not out of anxiety, though as the role that she is doing is of a somewhat chubby girl. Insiders say in order to look on the heavier side Veena M ate whatever came her way — parathas, omelettes, qorma — so that she could get into the character. The actress has a couple of more projects, including The City that Never Sleeps, for which ostensibly she will be seen in quite a bold avatar. No surprises there.
