Mrs Anushka Sharma Kohli plays a sincere, ambitious embroiderer from heartland India in YRF’s upcoming entertainer Sui Dhaaga – Made in India. Anushka’s character in the film becomes self-reliant by using her talent of embroidering and makes a name for herself in her community along with her husband, Mauji, who is a tailor. Together from being unemployed, they become success stories by putting their skills to good use.
While prepping for her role as Mamta in the film, Anushka was deeply moved with the skills, dreams and aspirations of the weavers and artisans from rural India.
“Anushka was shooting in Chanderi for Sui Dhaaga and one day she requested the team to set up a meeting with the local weavers. Chanderi weavers are known the world over and their skill is admired and raved. Anushka met up with some of the weavers and heard their life stories which were truly inspirational,” says a source who was present on the sets.
The informer adds, “Anushka expressed her fascination for Chanderi sarees and requested them to bring their collection. She spent a couple of hours with them looking through their designs and to their huge surprise, she bought around 35 Chanderi sarees from them! She shopped for her family, took some for gifting. She also bought a lot for herself. In her own way, Anushka would be spreading the life stories of these talented weavers with her immediate family and friends. She has also taken down all their phone numbers for future.”
Sui Dhaaga brings together National Award winning producer-director combo of Maneesh Sharma and Sharat Katariya after their blockbuster Dum Laga Ke Haisha. The film is a special salute to the inherent entrepreneurial spirit that the youth of India and our local artisans have.
