'Gladiator' stunt director brings epic action to 'Ulajh'

The action sequences in Ulajh have been choreographed intelligently by the veteran stunt director Nick Powell who is known for highly acclaimed International movies of all time like Born Identity, Gladiator, The Last Samurai and many more. It is going to be a visual spectacle to see Nick Powell's magic on screens combined with Janhvi Kapoor's charisma.

Revealing details about her action training in Uljah, Janhvi says, "People often misunderstand the role of IFS officers, they think it's similar to other positions where hard combat training is required. IFS officer training is more focused on diplomacy, maintaining international relations, and strategic thinking using words. Through Ulajh, I gained insight into the skill sets required to be an IFS officer. For my character Suhana in Ulajh, we kept this authenticity intact. While I didn't undergo combat training, Nick Powell ensured that the essential action training went more in the zone and authentic
for an IFS."

Speaking about Janhvi's action sequence in the film, action-director Nick Powell said, "Janhvi is so feminine and making her do an action sequence and trying to make her look as someone who is punching people, hurting them, of course because she is afraid and does not intend to hurt them deliberately was difficult."

Janhvi recently got hospitalised, and media reports stated that it was a case of severe food poisoning. On the work front, the actress has two films in the pipeline. She will be seen essaying the role of the Deputy High Commissioner of the embassy in 'Ulajh'. The film, directed by Sudhanshu Saria, also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang, and Adil Hussain in lead roles.
