Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan burnt the midnight oil while shooting Sui Dhaaga — Made in India. The actors play a small-town couple who take to launching their own tailoring business in the film.
While Sharma plays an embroiderer, Dhawan plays the role of a tailor from heartland India. Director Sharat Katariya wanted to capture the genuine small town essence in his film and went all out to make it as authentic as possible.
“Craftsmen work day and night and Sharat wanted to show how a craftsman in such places would work through the night,” said Sharma. “We learnt that many use the bright street lights to aid their professional needs and we wanted to capture this in the film.”
“These talented artists generally go on the roof of their houses and start working at night. Mauji [Dhawan’s character] and Mamta [Sharma] take a leaf out of this dedication, ambition and entrepreneur spirit,” recalled Dhawan. “We shot some sewing and embroidering scenes using the street lights of Chanderi and they are really touching. Sharat has got some very heartfelt moments while shooting these scenes.”
Sui Dhaaga — Made in India is set to release on September 27 in the UAE.
