Anushka Sharma on her ‘Sui Dhaaga’ character: Mamta will always be very special

Anushka Sharma, who is set to woo us with her desi avatar in ‘Sui Dhaaga- Made In India’ along with Varun Dhawan, has said that her character Mamta will always remain special to her. Unlike her last outing ‘Pari’, where the actress was seen in a haunted avatar, Anushka will play the character of a simple Indian woman.

In a candid interaction with Pinkvilla, the ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ actress mentioned that she is grateful to those who have loved her look from the film. She added, “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 makeup, 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,” gushed Anushka.

The best part of playing Mamta? I was ready in 20 minutes flat! ❤ Watch what went into getting Mamta’s look right. #SuiDhaagaMadeInIndia @varundvn #SharatKataria #ManeeshSharma @yrf @suidhaagafilm (Link In bio.)

Darshan Jalan, Anushka’s designer, also shared the type of saree that she has worn in the film. He said, “It was clear from the word go that Anushka’s character would wear synthetic sarees primarily because they are cheap, but also because they dry quickly after a wash.”

Sharing how he came up with Mamta’s look for Anushka, the costume designer added, “I have vivid memories of a lady coming to our house every Saturday to collect donation for the local temple. She always wore synthetic sarees and covered her head. It was not only a tradition but also served as a shield from the heat. Memories like these became reference points.”

Directed by Sharat Katariya, ‘Sui Dhaaga- Made In India’ releases on September 28, 2018.
