Tailoring coach inspired Varun Dhawan’s Sui Dhaaga look
Mumbai, Aug 31 (IBNS): Varun Dhawan, who plays the role of a tailor from heartland India, Mauji, in his upcoming film, Sui Dhaaga, recently revealed that the look was inspired from a tailoring coach he worked with.
The man in question is Noor, who trained Varun for three months before principal photography for the movie commenced.
"Noor has been integral to Sui Dhaaga. He was my trainer for 3 months. He laid the foundation stone to me becoming Mauji. I’m indebted to him for teaching me the art of sui dhaaga and making me a believable tailor on screen. And I heard that his sense of dressing inspired my look in the film also" the actor shared.
"Everything in Sui Dhaaga is about authenticity, about being real and that’s what is making audiences love our trailer. I’m happy that my look has been well received and the credit goes to Darshan and obviously my teacher Noor, who has again left his mark over my character,” he added.
Darshan Jalan, the costume designer said, that he wanted to ensure that ensured that Varun’s look had things that a tailor who could think left of centre would come up with.
“Mauji is from the lower middle class income strata. He is simple person who works in the city as a help/peon in a sewing machine store. Regular people on the streets became an inspiration for us, like the ittar perfume guy from the streets of Haridwar and particularly Noor, our in-house tailor who was also training Varun to perfect his art of stitching and tailoring," Darshan said.
"From a styling point of view, we ensured that Varun’s look had things that a tailor who could think left of centre would come up with. Such as, zipper on the side of the pants so that he could reduce the size of the flare to keep it from getting caught while cycling. Zipper on the trouser hem so that the ends don't tear. These intricate details I believe makes audience see something new and adds to the authenticity of the character from a small town in India,” the designer added.
The film marks the debut pairing of Varun and Anushka Sharma, who in a deglamorised avatar plays an embroiderer in the film.
Sui Dhaaga is set to release on September 28. It 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 its local artisans have.
