The trailer for the much-anticipated film ‘Ulajh’, starring Janhvi Kapoor and Gulshan Devaiah, was unveiled on Tuesday, promising an intense narrative set in the world of international diplomacy.
Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria, the film delves into the complexities of high-stakes diplomatic scenarios.
In ‘Ulajh’, Janhvi Kapoor steps into the role of Suhana Bhatia, portrayed as the youngest Deputy High Commissioner. The trailer intriguingly hints at the underlying skepticism surrounding Suhana’s appointment, suggesting nepotism as a critique that resonates with Kapoor’s real-life career trajectory, IANS reported.
“This film is particularly special to me as I portray the very challenging role of a diplomat for the first time,” shared Janhvi Kapoor, reflecting on her experience. “It has been a humbling and fascinating journey. Working with Sudhanshu Saria has been incredibly enriching; he pushed me to explore new dimensions of my craft. Suhana’s character is strong and multi-dimensional, and I felt a personal connection to certain aspects of her journey, allowing me to deliver an authentic performance.”
Directed by Sudhanshu Saria, known for his critically acclaimed work in ‘Loev’, ‘Ulajh‘ promises to unravel intricate layers of power, politics, and personal integrity against a backdrop of diplomatic intricacies. Gulshan Devaiah joins Kapoor in a narrative that explores themes of ambition, ethical dilemmas, and the relentless pursuit of truth in an unforgiving world.
The film marks a significant departure for Kapoor, known for her roles in Bollywood films such as ‘Dhadak’ and ‘Roohi’, as she tackles a character rooted in the challenges of global diplomacy. Sudhanshu Saria’s directorial vision aims to bring nuance and depth to Kapoor’s portrayal, addressing both personal growth and professional scrutiny in equal measure.
‘Ulajh’ is slated to release later this year, promising audiences a compelling cinematic experience that navigates the complexities of modern-day diplomacy through a lens that is both introspective and thought-provoking.
