MUMBAI: Producer Maneesh Sharma says actors Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma relished the chance to go out of the comfort zone for their upcoming film Sui Dhaaga - Made in India.

The Yash Raj Films' Sui Dhaaga - Made in India will pair up Varun and Anushka for the first time on-screen.

"Varun and Anushka relished the chance to go out of the comfort zone of being portrayed as glamorous stars. Mauji and Mamta are salt of the earth characters and these characters gave our duo the chance to really push themselves as actors," Sharma said in a statement.
