Janhvi Kapoor starrer 'Ulajh' is all set to release on August 2. The film also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew and Adil Hussain in prominent roles. Hussain has previously worked with Janhvi’s mother and actor Sridevi, in the acclaimed 2012 film ‘English Vinglish.’ While Sridevi portrayed Shashi Godbole in the film, Hussain played her husband Satish Godbole. The actor shared his experience of working with Janhvi and the similarities between her and Sridevi. 

Similarities between Sridevi and Janhvi

Talking about the similarities between them, he said,  "I think the inheritance is very obvious that she is focused and sincere. When I say that, I mean that one is constantly aware of what's happening in the scene, knows their lines, and is listening to the director very carefully. To be aware of oneself and respect the director and co-actors, that I have seen in Sridevi Ji and also in Janhvi."  

Janhvi used to visit English Vinglish set

Recalling Janhvi visiting the sets of the Gauri Shinde film, Adil adds, "Janhvi was a regular visitor to the sets when we shot 'English Vinglish' 13 years ago, so I saw her at the age of 14. I am presuming that she must have observed very carefully what her mother does because I see that kind of dedication in her work now." 

About Ulajh

In 'Ulajh,' Janhvi Kapoor plays Suhana, a young diplomat caught in a perilous conspiracy during a critical assignment at the London embassy. As she navigates this career-defining role, Suhana becomes enmeshed in a complex web of deception, where even trusted allies might turn out to be enemies.

Reflecting on her role, Janhvi Kapoor had earlier shared, "This film is particularly special to me as I portray a very challenging role of a diplomat for the first time. It has been a humbling and fascinating experience. Working with Sudhanshu Saria has been incredibly enriching; he made me push my own boundaries. Suhana's character is strong and multi-dimensional, and I found a personal connection to some shades of the character that enabled me to deliver an authentic performance."   

The spy thriller, directed by Sudhanshu Saria, also stars Meiyang Chang, Rajesh Tailang and Rajendra Gupta.
