Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma starrer Sui Dhaaga – Made in India is one of the most anticipated films of 2018. Helmed by Dum Laga Ke Haisha’s Sharat Katariya, Sui Dhaga is a story of pride and self-reliance, rooted in the heart of India. Varun and Anushka, who have wrapped up for their upcoming film Sui Dhaaga – Made in India, will be seen on screen together for the very first time in their long career of acting. The duo is playing the role of a small town couple – Mauji, a tailor (Varun) and Mamta, an embroider (Anushka).

Speaking of Anushka's character in the film, the actress will be seen playing a simple, innocent, sincere yet ambitious embroiderer from heartland India in YRF's upcoming entertainer Sui Dhaaga – Made in India. Her character balances home and work with equal ease as she, along with her husband Mauji (Varun Dhawan) becomes self-reliant by using her talent of embroidering.

Anushka’s look in this much awaited film has been extremely praised. She will be only seen wearing sarees throughout the film and Anushka looks extremely comfortable in a saree while doing hectic daily household duties as well as the demanding handicraft work.

Talking about it, Anushka revealed, "You are not used to obviously wearing a saree, unless for events or something. Mamta is someone who wears saree every single day, that is what she wears. I had to be so comfortable doing jhadu is a saree, cooking in a saree, climbing up and down the stairs in a saree and looking really easy while doing it. I had to be at ease.

The actress further added, "No matter what I would be doing, the pallu would stay on my head because I had to be used to it. Normally I don't laugh like how I’m in Sui Dhaaga but because of the pallu, it used to automatically go on the face. Towards the end I got so used to it that I constantly kept putting pallu in my head, and my body language changed because of the pallu; it helped me so much to play this character."

Sui Dhaaga – Made in India is all set to release on September 28 this year, just before Gandhi Jayanti. The film brings together National Award winning producer-director combo of Maneesh Sharma and Sharat Katariya after their blockbuster Dum Laga Ke Haisha. Varun - Anushka starrer is a special salute to the inherent entrepreneurial spirit that the youth of India and our local artisans have.
