Anushka-Varun to celebrate entrepreneurs

Monday, 20 August 2018 13:18

Mamta and Mauji, aka Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan play Indian craftsmen and small-scale entrepreneurs chasing a dream for a better life, wanting to take pride in their creations in Yash Raj Films’upcoming entertainer Sui Dhaaga – Made in India.

A film that brings together the National Award winning producer-director combo of Maneesh Sharma and Sharat Katariya, Sui Dhaaga is a special salute to the inherent entrepreneurial spirit that the youth of India and local artisans have.

Maneesh Sharma says, “Our film is a celebration of entrepreneurship. The youth of the country is looking to stand tall on their own feet by using their talents. They are restless, disruptive and have a zing of entrepreneurship in them. Sui Dhaaga – Made in India champions that spirit. India is one of the youngest countries in the world and we have outstanding stories of success that will touch the hearts of everyone. Through our marketing campaign, we want to celebrate this young India that’s bursting with ideas and incredible talent.”

Anushka says, “We would like to meet these young entrepreneurs from across the country and celebrate the spirit of excellence in entrepreneurship.”

Varun adds, “We want to meet as many young entrepreneurs who are making a huge difference to the society they live in. We want to bring out their success stories so that they can be an inspiration for others.”

The film’s plot is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy and takes a leaf out of the hugely acclaimed Make In India campaign. While Varun plays the role of a tailor, Anushka plays an embroiderer in the film.

Both champion actors, Anushka and Varun have been paired for the first time and are definitely the most awaited on-screen pair of 2018. The National Award-winning, dream-team of director Sharat Katariya and producer Maneesh Sharma seems to have taken the bar of perfectionism several notches higher with the looks they have crafted for their leading actors.

Yash Raj Films’ entertainer Sui Dhaaga - Made in India is set to release on September 28 this year.
