The highly anticipated espionage thriller, ‘Ulajh,’ is set to hit theaters on August 2nd, 2024. Produced by Junglee Pictures, the film stars Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang, and Meiyang Chang in pivotal roles. Centered around the high-stakes world of the Indian Foreign Services (IFS) and their diplomats, this film is already generating significant buzz, particularly for its intelligently choreographed action sequences orchestrated by veteran stunt director Nick Powell.
Known for his work in internationally acclaimed movies such as ‘Born Identity,’ ‘Gladiator,’ ‘The Last Samurai,’ and many more, Nick Powell is a name that commands respect in the realm of action choreography. His involvement in ‘Ulajh’ promises to bring a visual spectacle to the screen, seamlessly combining his mastery of action with Janhvi Kapoor’s charisma.
Revealing her action training for ‘Ulajh,’ Janhvi Kapoor shared, “People often misunderstand the role of IFS officers; they think it’s similar to other positions that require hard combat training. The training for IFS officers is more focused on diplomacy, maintaining international relations, and strategic thinking using words. Through ‘Ulajh,’ I gained insight into the skill sets required to be an IFS officer. For my character Suhana in ‘Ulajh,’ we kept this authenticity intact. While I didn’t undergo combat training, Nick Powell ensured that the essential action training remained in the zone and authentic for an IFS officer.”
Speaking about Janhvi’s action sequences in the film, stunt director Nick Powell remarked, “Janhvi is so feminine, and making her execute an action sequence—where she looks like she’s punching people and hurting them—was a challenge. Of course, she does this out of fear and not with the intent to hurt anyone deliberately.”
Besides her role in ‘Ulajh,’ Janhvi Kapoor recently faced a health scare, being hospitalized due to severe food poisoning. Yet, her professional commitments remain unwavering; she has two films lined up and will be portraying the role of the Deputy High Commissioner of the embassy in ‘Ulajh.
.’ Directed by Sudhanshu Saria, the film not only features Janhvi Kapoor but also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang, and Adil Hussain in significant roles.
‘Ulajh’ is penned by the acclaimed duo Parveez Shaikh and Sudhanshu Saria, known for their capability to weave compelling narratives. Dialogues are crafted by Atika Chauhan, adding another layer of excellence to the film. With such a stellar team behind it, ‘Ulajh’ is shaping up to be an exhilarating cinematic journey.
The trailer of ‘Ulajh’ has already managed to capture the audience’s attention, particularly for the action sequences featuring Janhvi Kapoor. The film’s promise of enthralling visual and emotional experiences is only heightened by the involvement of Nick Powell, whose history of choreographing groundbreaking action scenes sets a high expectation.
In a world where diplomacy is often synonymous with subtlety, ‘Ulajh’ seems poised to disrupt this notion by showcasing the intertwined nature of political maneuvering and unexpected physical challenges. Nick Powell’s ability to create authentic action sequences that respect the character’s background and constraints promises an extraordinarily immersive experience for viewers.
Junglee Pictures has a history of producing high-quality content, and ‘Ulajh’ looks to be no exception. With a star-studded cast and a plot that delves deep into the intricacies of IFS duties, the film is expected to be both intellectually engaging and visually arresting.
As the release date draws nearer, the excitement for ‘Ulajh’ continues to build. With its unique premise, exceptional cast, and the illustrious Nick Powell handling the action choreography, the film is set to be a standout entry in the genre of espionage thrillers. The August 2nd, 2024 release of ‘Ulajh’ is a date many are eagerly marking on their calendars, anticipating an unforgettable cinematic experience.
