According to a  Bollywood Hungama  report from March, the movie had released across 2,500 screens in India in September last year, and earned a whopping Rs 125.09 crore worldwide before its release in China. Recently, Sui Dhaaga became the only Indian film to be selected in the competition category at the  Shanghai International Film Festival  The Belt and Road Film Week.

Directed by Sharat Katariya, the film is an ode to the entrepreneurial spirit. Sui Dhaaga chronicles the story of an innocent village couple, Mauji and Mamta, who dream big to start their business together. Upon release, the film received mostly favourable reviews from critics and audiences.

Other than Sui Dhaaga, she was also seen with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif in  Zero . In an  interview  with  Filmfare, she had said she has not taken up any new projects in 2019 as she wanted to take some time off.

Dhawan’s last release was Dharma Productions’ Kalank. He will be next seen in  Street Dancer 3D  with Shraddha Kapoor, and the remake of  Coolie No 1 . Dhawan will also reunite with his October director Sriram Raghavan in a film based on  Arun Khetarpal , the youngest recipient of Param Vir Chakra.
