Anushka Sharma's dedication to her craft is unparalleled. A perfectionist actor, Anushka plays the role of Mamta, a local embroiderer from heartland India in YRF's upcoming entertainer Sui Dhaaga – Made in India. Simple, innocent yet ambitious, Anushka dreams to make a name for herself along with her husband Mauji, (played by Varun Dhawan) her life and business partner.

Mamta displays her natural talent of being an entrepreneur in the film. To perfectly portray this role on screen, Anushka ensured that she dived into the skin of her character. Anushka needed to be skilled with actual handloom machines and equipment and she picked up the skill to operate the charkha perfectly. Sharat has used a modern version of the charkha and not the exact Gandhi charkha in the film. Since, the film's plot is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of self-reliance, the symbolism of Mamta using the charkha is integral to Mahatma's teachings and principles and Sharat wanted to use it effectively in the film through Mamta's character.
