"Gippi director Sonam Nair decided to cast Arjun Kapoor in the promo for her children&amp;#039;s film because of the actor&amp;#039;s weight problems. The Ishaqzaade actor will be seen doing a special teaser for the feature about an overweight child. Nair told Hindustan Times: &amp;quot;Since Gippi doesn&amp;#039;t feature any big stars or known faces, the makers thought of roping in two or three stars to spread the word about the film. &amp;quot;Since Arjun is popular among young audiences, he was one of the first choices for the task. We thought we would tap into his personality because he loves to eat and doesn&amp;#039;t like to adhere to diets. &amp;quot;So when we asked him what he would eat, he ordered burgers, cupcakes and pizzas - basically unhealthy, but really tasty food. &amp;quot;Since Gippi is about an overweight kid who doesn&amp;#039;t like to go on diets, Arjun&amp;#039;s name came up as a natural choice because he also used to be plump when he was young and hated dieting.&amp;quot;  In a separate interview with Digital Spy, Nair said: &amp;quot;Gippi is a film for anyone who has ever felt insecure, like they&amp;#039;re not good enough, and it makes you feel great about yourself by the time it ends.&amp;quot; In December, the 27-year-old said that this year will be a big one for his career in Bollywood.
