Talking about walking for Rawal, he said: “This is the second time I walked for Kunal and for me this time was better. It felt bigger and grander.”

Later during an interaction with the media, the actor opened up on his upcoming release ‘Sui Dhaaga’ in which he is depicting the role of a tailor named Mauji. The movie is a special salute to the inherent entrepreneurial spirit that the youth of India and the country’s local artisans have.

Having a filmography with a mix of entertainers like ‘Main Tera Hero’, ‘Dishoom’, ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya’ and content-driven cinema like ‘Badlapur’ and ‘October’, actor Varun Dhawan says with his upcoming film ‘Sui Dhaaga-Made In India’ he is trying to mix “mass” and “class” films together.

Asked if he consciously chooses to make a balance between massy entertainers and content-driven films, Varun told IANS, “It is. Whenever I do a ‘Main Tera Hero’, I need a ‘Badlapur’ and if I do a ‘Judwaa 2’, I need an ‘October’. Now with ‘Sui Dhaaga — Make In India’ I am trying to mix these. I am trying to mix the mass and class (films) together and that’s what ‘Sui Dhaaga-Made In India’ is all about.”

Asked if Bollywood heroes embodying such realistic characters can make a statement, he said, “The clothes are on our body and made by these people, so they bring the biggest change in our lives. They change our moods the way they make the clothes. They need to be given importance.”

The 31-year-old actor says the film, which also features actress Anushka Sharma, is not just about a tailor but a person who wants to rise and make his place in the world.

“It is about the entrepreneurship, about young India and it’s about made in India…things made in India,” added the actor, who will also be seen sharing screen space with Sanjay Dutt in the upcoming film ‘Kalank’.

‘Sui Dhaaga’ brings together National Award winning producer-director combo of Maneesh Sharma and Sharat Katariya after their blockbuster ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’. Produced under the banner of Yash Raj Films, ‘Sui Dhaaga-Made In India’ is all set to hit the silver screens on September 28, 2018.
