Varun Dhawan: My Sui Dhaaga character is inspired from comic character

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan says his
character Mauji in the film "Sui Dhaaga" is
inspired from comic character Suppandi.
Varun essays a tailor and an office peon in
the film.
On the books he likes to read, Varun said: "I
read a lot of biographies... I've read one on
Dev Anand. I love reading 'Suppandi'. I used
to read that a lot during my childhood. Even
the characters I do, like right now I am
playing this character of a tailor Mauji in 'Sui
Dhaaga'...there is more to him than just
being a tailor as he is a peon in a shop as
well. Mauji is very inspired by Suppandi."
The actor spoke about it as he attends a
book launch event on Monday.
The book, assisted by Vikas Singh, is the first
with which Amish has introduced Writer's
Center in India. It will be published under
Amish's brand new series titled "Indic
Chronicles".
Varun said Shashank Khaitan, director of his
next film "Rannbhoomi", is a fan of Amish's
works. However, he said they will not steal
his ideas and will take permission if
required.
