Here’s how Jacob Smith who played Raj in Kriti Sanon-starrer Mimi was cast in the film

The 4-year-old Jacob Smith who played Kriti Sanon (Mimi)'s son Raj is a Scottish who migrated to Goa with his parents in an attempt to travel the world. The makers of Mimi had been searching for the right face to fit the character. When they saw Jacob they found their Raj in him and selected him for the role. Jacob relocated to the city of dreams, Mumbai and where he was given acting lessons and then only taken to Rajasthan for shooting.

Mimi was initially going to release on 31st July but was preponed to 26th July as the movie leaked online.
