Anushka practises sewing skills

Actress Anushka Sharma, who is busy with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Zero, has begun preparing for her next film Sui Dhaaga.

In Sui Dhaaga, Anushka will be seen essaying a self-reliant embroiderer. She has already started workshops to perfect her character before she starts filming.

On Monday, Anushka posted an image of herself practising her sewing skills with the caption: Katran mein buni khaani, Paband lagaake hai sunani — Sui Dhaaga.”

Maneesh Sharma, the producer said in a statement: “We wanted someone who could effortlessly transform herself into a character who is intelligent, strong and expressive even in her silence.”

‘When you're in a particular shape, people have very varied expectations from you in terms of role playing. The reason I got Golmaal Again was because the role required a lot of action in the film. I don't think I would have gotten the role if I wasn't fit.’

— Parineeti Chopra
