Gladiator stunt director talks about Janhvi.Janhvi Kapoor's upcoming espionage thriller, "Ulajh," is generating buzz with its compelling storyline, talented cast, and the inclusion of Hollywood action director Nick Powell for the film's stunt sequences.

Powell, known for his work in films like "Born Identity," "Gladiator," and "The Last Samurai," shared insights into training Janhvi for the action scenes. "Making Janhvi, who is so feminine, convincingly punch and hurt people – especially since her character is afraid and doesn't intend to do so deliberately – was a challenge," he said.

Janhvi, who plays the role of an IFS officer named Suhana in "Ulajh," emphasized the importance of authenticity in portraying the role. "IFS training focuses on diplomacy and strategic thinking, not combat," she explained. "While I didn't undergo combat training, Nick ensured the action sequences were authentic and aligned with the skillset of an IFS officer."

"Ulajh" has already created a stir with its trailer, and the excitement surrounding the film has only amplified with the announcement of special preview screenings for fans. These screenings, held on July 27th, sold out within 30 minutes, prompting the makers to add additional cities due to overwhelming demand.

Janhvi expressed her excitement, stating, "The enthusiasm for 'Ulajh' has been incredible. I hope these previews make the wait a bit sweeter!"

Written by Parveez Shaikh and Sudhanshu Saria, with dialogues by Atika Chauhan, "Ulajh" features a talented cast including Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, Adil Hussain, Jitendra Joshi, and Rajendra Gupta. Produced by Junglee Pictures, "Ulajh" is slated to hit cinemas on August 2, 2024.

With its compelling premise, action-packed sequences, and a stellar cast, "Ulajh" promises to be a captivating cinematic experience. The film's success, along with the positive response to its pre-release screenings, suggests that Janhvi Kapoor is poised for another successful outing.
