Anushka Sharma is looking forward to the release of her film Sui Dhaaga-Made in India opposite Varun Dhawan. The powerhouse performer has gone completely de-glam for her role of a housewife. The fashionista isn’t wearing any makeup in the film. Anushka plays a simple, down to earth, a sincere yet ambitious embroiderer from heartland India in YRF's upcoming entertainer.
Anushka’s character in the film becomes self-reliant by using her talent of embroidering and she makes a name for herself in her community along with her husband, Mauji, a tailor. Her look in this much-awaited film has been extremely praised and the costume director, Darshan Jalan, revealed how he studied rural housewives to finalize Mamta’s look on Anushka.
Darshan said, “Anushka's character and look brief was very simple which (to be honest) makes things more complex because it must be relatable. The character is that of a housewife living on a lower middle-class income in city outskirts! It was clear from the get-go that Anushka would wear synthetic saree(s) primarily because they are cheap but most importantly it washes easily and dries quickly.”
He further added, “In my opinion, achieving the day to day look of a regular person is more challenging because there is no room for error. We come across these people every day and I studied them thoroughly before finalizing every minute detail. I have vivid memories of a lady coming to our house on Saturdays (we called her Shanivaar Wali), to collect donation for the local temple. She always wore synthetic sarees in same colour tones, always covered her head - which is not only a tradition but a shield from heat and cold! Memories like these become reference points!”
On the other hand, talking about her look Anushka said, “I love Mamta’s look! It’s so simple and so different from how audiences have seen me in movies. I’m thankful to the audiences who have loved Mamta after seeing the trailer and full marks to Darshan and my make-up artist Clover Wootton for making Mamta raw, real and relatable. From the pallu over my head, to the dhaaga that I wear around my neck to the decision to go completely without make-up, all this has created this character. The best part was that it took flat 20 minutes to get into Mamta’s look. Mamta will always be a very, very special role in my filmography.”
Sui Dhaaga-Made in India is about finding love and respect through self-reliance and is based on the Indian Government’s initiative of Made in India. Varun and Anushka have been paired for the first time and are definitely the most-awaited on-screen jodis of 2018. Sui Dhaaga - Made in India is set to release on September 28.
