After enjoying the box-office success with one of the biggest family comedy-dramas, Badhaai Ho, Junglee Pictures Limited, also known for producing high-concept and entertaining films like Raazi, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Talvar, is all set with its next titled Ulajh — a stylised espionage drama with high scale production.

To be fronted by an A-list actress, the film is a high-octane, female-led spy thriller and is expected to be an edge-of-the-seat, visual delight with twists and turns. The studio has joined hands with director Sudhanshu Saria who won a National Award for his film Knock Knock Knock (2019). Sudhanshu has previously directed the critically-acclaimed film Loev, and is currently working on two series, including the third season of Delhi Crime, which will stream on leading OTT platforms.

Ulajh, penned by veteran writer Parveez Sheikh of Queen and Bajrangi Bhaijaan fame, is a script that has generated a lot of excitement and anticipation within the industry. The film will be one of the few female-led espionage thrillers to be shot extensively in scenic international locations and will go on floors in 2022. The movie follows a female protagonist from a prominent family of patriots, who gets embroiled in a dangerous personal conspiracy while she is far from home turf on her first international posting.

Sudhanshu shares, “In a time of perfection and superheroes, it’s wonderful to have a script that dares to look at the themes of failure and redemption in a relevant and gripping way. Parveez has written an edge-of-the-seat thriller with a phenomenal female protagonist, and I can’t wait to bring it to life for audiences worldwide.”

A spokesperson from Junglee Pictures adds, “Ulajh is a high-concept script with a strong female protagonist, which promises to keep you gripped till the end. Action, drama and Sudhanshu’s flair for showcasing unique concepts is the perfect mix for this thinking thriller, and we are extremely excited to bring this stylised drama to the audiences.”

Junglee Pictures is set to enter 2022 with an exciting slate of films from various genres, including Badhaai Do, Doctor G, Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan, Dosa King and Ulajh, to name a few.
