The trailer of Sui Dhaaga, starring Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma is out, and it promises to be an inspiring tale of self-reliance. Varun and Anushka, who essay a couple from a small town, have totally opted for a de-glam look for the film.

The trailer shows glimpses of Mauji's (Varun) who starts off doing meagre jobs and getting abused, and his wife Mamata (Anushka) pushing him to start his own venture and gain self respect. Mauji, a tailor, picks up his old sewing machine and takes baby steps into self- reliance. Inspired by the 'Made in India' campaign, Sui Dhaaga is a tale of determination, hard work and resilience.

"I could not understand how I would play this character. I always wanted to challenge myself as an actor but this was differing with my personality on another level. So I was afraid and I told him I don't think I can do this character," Anushka Sharma said about her character.

While promoting the film, the producers tried an innovative idea—getting artisans from across the country to create the logo of the film. It was an attempt to promote India's traditional handicrafts and fabrics. Over a span of six months, the logo has been designed din 15 styles that celebrate the country's unique styles—be it the Kashida from Kashmir, Phulkari work from Punjab or the Pipli applique from Odisha.

The film, directed by Sharad Kataria, releases on September 28.
