Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma starrer 'Sui Dhaaga' has already been creating an uproar amongst the audience ever since the film's trailer was released. Varun plays the role of a local tailor from heartland India in YRF's upcoming entertainer. To aptly portray his role, Varun had to learn quite a few new tricks for the film. Since his character in the film gets well versed with the art of dyeing fabrics, Varun too had to learn the process.



“'Sui Dhaaga’ has enabled me to learn such new, amazing skills that I will always cherish. Mauji is an entrepreneur at heart and he passionately wants to realize his dreams. He goes all out to achieve this goal with his wife Mamta. In order to become multi-talented, Mauji has to learn various aspects of weaving and handloom. To become Mauji, I had to learn the art of dyeing fabrics. It was really, really tough,” Varun revealed.



Varun added, “I learnt dyeing from actual handloom artists in Chanderi. I had a week or so to sit with them, watch them work and learn everything from them. I was sure that before I give the shot I would master their body language and the way they went about the intricate process of dyeing. It’s extremely tough and needs a lot of patience. Thankfully, I had the best teachers who guided me thoroughly.”



Varun and Anushka have come together for the first time for this film, so it certainly will be one film to watch out for. Produced by Maneesh Sharma and directed by Sharat Katariya, the film is all set to hit the theatres on September 28 this year.
