Janhvi Kapoor calls Ulajh 'high-risk' film; opens up about choosing challenging roles over commercial success

As a dedicated follower of Janhvi Kapoor’s career, I have been captivated by her unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries and challenging herself in her acting choices. Her recent interview with India Today showcases her thoughtful approach to her craft and her commitment to personal growth as an artist.


Janhvi Kapoor is preparing for the premiere of her upcoming movie, titled “Ulajh.” To build anticipation for the film, the actress has been putting in a great deal of effort into its promotion, both digitally and traditionally. In a recent interview, Janhvi discussed her preference for taking on complex roles over commercial success and raised questions about the industry’s readiness to embrace her.

Janhvi Kapoor says she decided to surprise herself by trying something different 

Engaging with India Today recently, I, Janhvi Kapoor, expressed my uncertainty about whether the film industry has fully embraced me as an actor yet. Even if it has, it’s a aspect I haven’t consciously pondered over because acting has been my lifelong passion. I believe I’ve grown significantly from my debut role to where I am now, but how the industry perceives me is something I can’t gauge myself.

In the past, I could have followed a more predictable path by making commercial movies with wider reach, filled with songs, dance, and glamour. It would have come naturally to me and offered a higher probability of success and popularity. Yet, a few years ago, I made a deliberate choice to step out of my comfort zone and try something new, despite the greater risks and stakes involved.

Janhvi Kapoor calls Ulajh ‘high-risk’ film

Regarding selecting lesser-known projects, Kapoor confessed that she’s taken on a few risky films, with “Ulajh” being one of them.

1. She continued by mentioning that occasionally she makes lighthearted comments comparing Insta-Janhvi and the actor Janhvi, but she isn’t entirely sure how the industry perceives her. However, she can only vouch for herself that as she works on each film, her confidence grows on set since she believes she is capable of delivering what her director expects from her.

Janhvi added, “An artist’s creativity is stifled when external opinions or judgments come into play, forcing her to ponder matters that are not part of her artistic process.”

As an obsessed fan, I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly await the release of Ulajh, a film that promises to be nothing short of brilliant. This masterpiece, set to grace the silver screen on August 2, is the brainchild of talented director Sudhanshu Saria. He has assembled an ensemble cast consisting of Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Adil Hussain, Rajendra Gupta, Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, and Jitendra Joshi in pivotal roles. Each one of these exceptional actors brings their unique talents to the table, ensuring a performance that is nothing short of extraordinary. I can hardly wait to witness this cinematic marvel unfold on the big screen!
