Varun Dhawan and Anushka are synonymous with glamour but in their recent turn as co-actors in the upcoming Sui Dhaaga, their de-glam looks have made fans curious. Set in the hinterland, the film’s rustic appeal was accentuated with new pictures surfacing on the internet of the actors playing Mauji and Mamta.
Varun Dhawan reportedly cycled for about 10 hours in the sweltering heat of Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, with Sharma in the back seat during the shoot of the Sharat Kataria directorial, inspired by the Make In India campaign.
The first look of Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan starrer, Sui Dhaaga showed Mauji and Mamta (Varun and Anushka), dressed in a simple attire. In line with PM Modi’s Make In India campaign that promotes skill development, Anushka will reportedly play the role of an embroiderer and Varun as a tailor in the film.
Speaking about the project, Varun had earlier said, “‘From Gandhiji to Modiji, our leaders have always endorsed the mantra of Made in India. With Sui Dhaaga, I am proud to take their message to millions of movie lovers in a way that is entertaining and relevant. I really liked the script that Sharat had written and I am happy that I am teaming up with YRF on this one. Anushka and I are pairing up for the first time so I am sure there will be fireworks.”
Sui Dhaaga is helmed by Dum Laga Ke Haisha director, Sharat Kataria. The film releases on 28 September 2018, ahead of Gandhi Jayanti.
