Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah To Star In 'Ulajh'
Janhvi Kapoor, Gushan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew would be sharing the screen for Junglee Pictures' next 'Ulajh'.
Junglee Pictures on Wednesday announced the casting of their upcoming film titled ‘Ulajh’, a stylised international thriller, set in the prestigious and intriguing world of Indian Foreign Services (IFS). The new Hindi movie will be directed by National Award-winner Sudhanshu Saria, and the makers have also given us a glimpse into the high-stakes world of international diplomacy. 'Ulajh' starcast includes Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, and Roshan Mathew.
The starcast also includes Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, Sachin Khedekar, Rajendra Gupta and Jitendra Joshi. The patriotic thriller is to go on floors by end of this month.
‘Ulajh’ follows the journey of a young IFS officer, belonging to a prominent family of patriots, who gets embroiled in a dangerous personal conspiracy while far from her home turf, at a career-defining post.
Written by Parveez Shaikh and Sudhanshu Saria, with dialogues by Atika Chohan, this new-age thriller promises to be unlike anything else audiences have seen in this genre.
Excited to be a part of Ulajh, Janhvi Kapoor said: “When I was approached with the script of 'Ulajh', it instantly attracted me because as an actor, I am constantly looking for scripts that make me break out of my comfort zone and portraying a character based in the celebrated world of the Indian Foreign Services was just that. Just as the name of the film suggests, my character and the story, has so many layers, emotions, and parameters, which is challenging and exciting at the same time."
"I am thrilled for the audience to see me in this new role envisioned by Sudhanshu, who has such a fresh approach towards dealing with this genre. I am also looking forward to work with such talented co-actors and a development studio like Junglee Pictures for the first time," she added.
Director Sudhanshu Saria said: “In their typical fashion, Junglee Pictures has picked yet another original, bold and daring film to bring to audiences and I’m so thrilled they’ve entrusted me with the task of helming it. In Janhvi Kapoor, the film has found its beating heart and it’s going to be a treat for audiences to watch her spar with thespians like Rajesh Tailang and Sachin Khedekar, maverick actors like Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Matthews and Meiyang Chang. We have a rollercoaster of a ride planned for our audience and I can’t wait to start rolling cameras on Ulajh.”
Celebrating their recent success with films like 'Badhaai Do' and 'Doctor G' last year, Junglee Pictures is all set to enter 2023 with an exciting slate of films from various genres starting with, ‘Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan’, ‘Dosa King’, and ‘Click Shankar’ to name a few.
