Janhvi Kapoor will soon be seen in Ulajh.

Janhvi Kapoor said that her projects involve risks and she finds that more gratifying.

Janhvi Kapoor is actively promoting Sudhanshu Saria’s Ulajh. Following the positive reception of her performance in Sharan Sharma’s Mr and Mrs Mahi, where she starred opposite Rajkummar Rao, she is now preparing for her upcoming project, Ulajh. Janhvi’s career graph is full of less commercial projects like Ulajh, Mili and Goodluck Jerry among others. In a recent chat, she said that she found these projects more satisfying than taking the ‘easier’ route and doing a big commercial film.

Speaking to Mashable, Janhvi said, “Main bohot hi asaan journey chunn sakti thi. Main iss film ki jagah ya mere pichle kuch filmon ki jagah, main badi commercial films kar sakti thi jahan glamour hota, bohot asaani se reach milta, popularity ho jaata, box office ka number guaranteed hota. Voh bohot asaan journey hai. Usme success rate almost guaranteed hai. Isme bohot risk hai (I could have chosen a very easy journey. Instead of the projects I’ve done, I could’ve done a big commercial film with a glamourous role, easy reach, guaranteed popularity and box office numbers).”

“So I know it’s a longer game, it’s a tougher game. I know that realistically if we’re looking at the box office, there have been more misses than hits because of the nature of the high-risk films I’ve chosen. But I feel that my growth as an artist has been more gratifying than it would’ve been had I picked the easier route,” she added.

As for Ulajh, Janhvi Kapoor portrays Suhana, a young diplomat embroiled in a treacherous personal conspiracy during her crucial assignment at the London embassy. As she navigates the complexities of her career-defining role, she finds herself entangled in the weight of her legacy and in a web of deception, where every ally could be a foe.

Audiences can expect heart-stopping moments and edge-of-your-seat drama as Ulajh unfolds its gripping tale of traps, conspiracies, and betrayals. With its captivating storyline and stellar performances, the film promises to be a cinematic experience like no other.

Her upcoming film Ulajh, directed by Sudhanshu Saria, features an impressive cast including Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Adil Hussain, Rajendra Gupta, Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, and Jitendra Joshi in key roles. The thriller is set to hit theatres on August 2, 2024, produced by Vineet Jain and co-produced by Amrita Pandey. Ulajh is all set to release on August 2, 2024.
