Sui Dhaaga - Made in India: Varun Dhawan's detailed transformation into Mauji is commendable

Varun Dhawan's transformation into the innocent local tailor Mauji in Sui Dhaaga - Made in India impressed everyone when the trailer came out. Fans could not stop praising Varun's simple and authentic look. But, did you know that Varun's Mauji transformation was inspired by an actual tailor named Noor, who even trained the actor for the movie? The costume designer of Sui Dhaaga Darshan Jalan shared details about Varun's look and the inspiration behind it which is indeed heartwarming to hear. 

"Mauji is from the lower middle-class income strata. He is a simple person who works in the city as a help/peon in a sewing machine store. Regular people on the streets became an inspiration for us, like the perfume guy from the streets of Haridwar and particularly Noor, our in-house tailor who was also training Varun to perfect his art of stitching and tailoring! From a styling point of view, we ensured that Varun’s look had things that a tailor who could think left of centre would come up with. Such as zipper on the side of the pants so that he could reduce the size of the flare to keep it from getting caught while cycling. The zipper on the trouser hem so that the ends don't tear. These intricate details I believe makes the audience see something new and adds to the authenticity of the character from a small town in India," Darshan shared.

On the other hand, Varun said, "Noor has been integral to Sui Dhaaga. He was my trainer for 3 months. He laid the foundation stone for me becoming Mauji. I’m indebted to him for teaching me the art of sui dhaaga and making me a believable tailor on screen. And I heard that his sense of dressing inspired my look in the film also! Everything in Sui Dhaaga is about authenticity, about being real and that’s what is making audiences love our trailer. I’m happy that my look has been well received and the credit goes to Darshan and obviously my teacher Noor, who has again left his mark on my character."
