Yash Raj Films’ 2018 hit “Sui Dhaaga: Made in India” will release in China on March 31.

Starring Bollywood A-listers Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma, the film follows an unemployed small-town man who defies all odds and naysayers and revives his family’s garment business. The film’s plot is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy that Indians should be self-dependent to achieve their goals. Dhawan plays a tailor, while Sharma plays an embroiderer in the film who, as husband and wife, team to fulfil their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs.

The film is directed by Sharat Katariya and produced by Maneesh Sharma and Aditya Chopra for Yash Raj Films. The trio previously collaborated on the hit “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” (2015).

Sharma said: “Indian youth are dream-chasers and if we look at China, they are also the same. So, I feel our simple, feel-good love story of two aspiring entrepreneurs will connect with people in that country.

Mumbai, Feb 28 (Ians) Actor Ayushmann Khurrana credits his films Vicky Donor and Dum Laga Ke Haisha for triggering his journey to stardom.

"The success of Vicky Donor and then Dum Laga Ke Haisha told me that the audience wanted to have a different experience in the theatre and that their taste was changing. They wanted to have a different form of engagement at the movies. They wanted to have a conversation, have a debate and take back an uplifting message home," said Ayushmann.

He says such films have been the voice of his beliefs and sensibilities, and have enabled him to "write my own destiny in this industry".

"I never looked back after Dum Laga Ke Haisha and so, it will always be a super special one for my career, for my life. It bolstered my belief that I was on the right path of selecting films that spark a conversation.

Mumbai, Feb 27 (Ians) Bhumi Pednekar is currently shooting for Badhaai Do in Rishikesh, where she shot for her first film, the 2015 release Dum Laga Ke Haisha, six years ago. She says her debut film will always be a milestone in her life and she cannot imagine how her career would have shaped up without it.

"Dum Laga Ke Haisha is truly a milestone moment of my life and I can't imagine how my career would have shaped up without it," she said.

She said it is a coincidence that she was shooting at the very same location for her upcoming film.

"It was such a coincidence that I shot at the same location again for Badhaai Do. The house which was my first ever location, for my first film, was used for Badhaai Do. I was so nostalgic. What were the chances that after six years, I would be at the same place!

Mumbai, Feb 27 (Ians) The Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pedenkar-starrer Dum Laga Ke Haisha released in 2015 on this day. The films's director Sharat Katariya says the talent of the lead pair and their ability get into the skin of their characters made them so endearing in the storyline.

"It's just their talent nothing else! It's their talent of getting into the skin of the character and becoming the characters they've been asked for, for any film that they do. I'm sure that is why their films work and their performances work. It is purely their own talent," Sharat said.

The film tells the story about a school dropout named Prem, who hesitantly marries an educated but overweight girl named Sandhya.

The film was Maneesh Sharma's debut as a producer.

Talking about donning the producer's hat, Maneesh said: "Some take the plunge, others are tripped into the pool. I am definitely the latter.

The Varun Dhawan-Anushka Sharma starrer Sui Dhaaga released two years ago on this day. Director Sharat Katariya, opening up on his creative process, says the characters in his films come from his personal experiences.

The 2018 release "Sui Dhaaga" was Katariya's third directorial after "10ml Love" (2010) and "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" (2015). He also contributed as a writer in films like "Bheja Fry" (2007) and "Titli" (2015).

Katariya, who also penned dialogues in "Fan" (2016) and "Befikre" (2016), has carved his niche for crafting critically acclaimed commercial entertainers that celebrate realism, as a writer and filmmaker.

"I was born in Delhi. The characters normally come from personal experiences of growing up. All these characters whether its Prem and Sandhya (Dum Laga Ke Haisha) or Mauji and Mamta (Sui Dhaaga) or other characters, like their parents, their family, their neighbours, whatsoever you write or you are influenced from, are people who you come across," Katariya said.

National Award-winning Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana has thanked all the directors with whom he has worked, on the occasion of World Gratitude Day.

From his 2012 debut "Vicky Donor" to his latest, "Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan", which released earlier this year, Ayushmann has consistently proved his credentials as a versatile actor and a popular star.

After I saw Sharat Katariya’s debut film Dum Laga ke Haisha I hoped Katariya won’t sell out to the star system. But his second film starred a market-friendly lead star. Then I hoped Katariya’s second film won’t lose the charm and innocence of the first.
