Ranbir and not Varun was the first choice for ‘Sui Dhaaga’?

Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma are all set to collaborate for the first time with their upcoming film ‘Sui Dhaaga – Made in India’. Directed by Sharat Katariya of ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ fame, the official announcement of this film was done by both the lead stars a few weeks ago on their respective Twitter handles, along with Yash Raj Films banner, the producers of the project. However, there are reports that Varun Dhawan was not the first choice for this film. The makers had initially approached Ranbir Kapoor for the lead part.

According to sources, Ranbir was seriously interested in taking up this project. Well, the actor kept the hopes of the director high, but completely backed out of the film later on. (Also Read: Ranbir Kapoor opens about nepotism in the industry)

After him, it was Varun Dhawan who was approached for this role and as per the sources he took less time in comparison to Ranbir to say yes to the script.

Reportedly, Ranbir Kapoor, who rejected this offer, is in fact praising the film’s script in his circle.

Talking about the film ‘Sui Dhaaga – Made in India’, the film is being produced by Maneesh Sharma under the banner of Yash Raj Films.

The film is touted to go on floors in the month of January next year, and is scheduled to release on Gandhi Jayanti 2018.
