Anushka Sharma initially refused 'Sui Dhaaga'.

Anushka Sharma will be seen in an new
avatar in her next Sui Dhaaga'. Pictures
from the sets have kept the audience
interested in the story, and the first
trailer that released Monday has also
kept the interest intact. Although,
Sharma admits that she didn't see
herself in the character of Mamta an
embroider, whom she plays in the film.
Sharma said, "When I read Sui Dhaaga, I
loved the script and what they were
trying to do with the story. I loved that
Yash Raj was making the film but still, I
said no at first. 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 it. Maneesh and Sharat were
extremely convinced that I am the right
person to play this character. Sharat even
visited my house and he told me how he
sees the character and why he thinks I
am actually the right fit, as according to
Mirror.
Sui Dhaaga' also stars Varun Dhawan,
and is slated for a 28th September
release.

Don't have interest reading about her.
But, if only she had refused it. How I wish they had more of a relatable actress such as Alia, Parineeti...Even Janhvi would have been so much better choice... totally sold with her no make up look in dhadak.
