Janhvi Kapoor’s commitment to her role in the film Ulajh has been nothing short of extraordinary, as demonstrated by her remarkable performance in the movie’s climax scene. The actress ran barefoot for 1,000 meters through the crowded and narrow lanes of Bhopal, showcasing her dedication to the character of Suhana, an IFS officer.
Director Sudhanshu Saria revealed the demanding nature of the scene, noting the challenges faced during the shoot. “Our movie was extensively shot in London, but the most crucial climax scene was shot in Bhopal. The night before our shoot, the set that was built got destroyed due to rain. We had to prep the location again and had a very small window to shoot this crucial sequence,” Saria explained.
Despite the hurdles, Kapoor’s performance stood out. Saria elaborated on her dedication, saying, “As soon as the camera started rolling, Janhvi became so absorbed in her role that every step she took reflected her character, Suhana. By the end of the shoot, despite visible injuries from running barefoot on the rugged road, she was so immersed in her character that she barely felt the pain. Janhvi seamlessly transitioned from a polished diplomat to a rugged officer defending her country, outdoing herself in every frame.”
In Ulajh, Kapoor’s portrayal of Suhana is central to the film’s narrative, highlighting her intense journey and personal transformation. The film also features a stellar cast including Adil Hussain, Meiyang Chang, Rajendra Gupta, and Jitendra Joshi. Produced by Junglee Pictures, Ulajh is now showing in cinemas, with the screenplay written by Sudhanshu Saria and Parveez Shaikh, and dialogues by Atika Chauhan.
