Ulajh: Did You Know Janhvi Kapoor Ran 1000 Metres Barefoot Through The Streets Of Bhopal To Complete The Climax Scene?
Janhvi Kapoor‘s latest film, Ulajh, has hit theatres with a mixed response from the audience and critics. This unique espionage thriller has been produced by Junglee Pictures. In the film, Janhvi plays Suhana, an IFS officer, and she goes above and beyond to bring her character to life.
Janhvi Kapoor Got Injured While Shooting
Director Sudhanshu Saria recently shared an intriguing behind-the-scenes story that highlights Janhvi’s dedication: she ran 1000 meters barefoot through the streets of Bhopal to nail a crucial climax scene.
For those unfamiliar, the climax of Ulajh was shot in Bhopal, requiring Janhvi to navigate crowded, narrow lanes barefoot. Despite multiple takes and the challenges of live locations, Janhvi remained deeply immersed in her character. The director praised her commitment, revealing that she sustained several injuries during the shoot but remained focused, capturing the raw emotions of Suhana.
Sudhanshu Saria Praises The Ulajh Actress
Speaking about the intense sequence, Sudhanshu Saria said, “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. Before we began, Janhvi and I discussed Suhana’s mindset for the scene.”
He added, “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.”
