Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma have paired up together for the first time for the film Sui Dhaaga: Made in India. The actors are currently busy with the promotions of the film. In Sui Dhaaga, Varun and Anushka will be seen as husband and wife and their and their characters' names are Mauji and Mamta. Varun Dhawan will be playing the role of a tailor and Anushka will be seen as an embroiderer in this film. The makers have released a video wherein Varun and Anushka are seen shooting for a sequence and are seen on a cycle.
Varun said, “Mauji loves his cycle. He takes it everywhere he goes. Cycle is the most preferred transportation option in rural India and we had to include it because the cycle adds so much visual appeal to Mauji’s character. He chills on his cycle, he dreams on his cycle, he laughs, he cries on his cycle. Mauji and Mamta (Anushka Sharma) have some really beautiful moments with each other – bonding, talking and getting to know each other – when they go for the rides together. The cycle captures the beautiful, innocence of small town life and romance.”
Anushka added, 'We were in the peak summers of North India. I had to sit crossed legged on the cycle, which I was not used to. My body twisted the whole time cause I had to sit in a particular way. Sharat had said, never are you guys going to touch each other in the film, but I was somehow holding the (seat) to save my life. We were sweaty, we were in aches and pains, my back was gone. "
Elaborating on it, “We were shooting in the summer heat in Chanderi and Delhi and I was required to sometimes cycle for nearly 10 hours at a stretch. It was tough. I had to ride it daily for about 15 days and I was exhausted. There was a scene of Anushka and I falling down from the cycle. We fell right near the cliff and the crew came running to see if we were ok. For Mauji, the cycle is a symbol of struggle as well as aspiration. It is an invaluable addition to the character sketch of Mauji.”
Varun and Anushka have become the most-awaited onscreen jodi of 2018. Sui Dhaaga - Made in India is set to release on September 28 this year.
