Sudhanshu Saria on Importance of Gender Parity in Filmmaking
Saria spoke about the importance of gender parity in filmmaking. As stated by Mid-Day, he explained, “I like the idea of a balanced world when it comes to gender politics. In Ulajh too, this is her story, and yet little is affected by her gender. She is a hero who happens to be a woman. Parveez made the original choice, and I took it forward.” He further added, “The traditional notion is that action is about muscles, so, it is a male category. But spy films are about smarts. Movies like these expand the idea that there cannot be a gender lens in genres. All genres can belong to all actors.”
Sudhanshu Saria Calls Ulajh Star Janhvi Kapoor “Passionate Partner”
The director praised Janhvi Kapoor’s dedication and passion for the project. He said, “Janhvi got wind of this script existing. She came after us, and there was no getting away from her. I was excited that I found a passionate partner. When I met her, I loved that she was willing to be a part of my process; nothing scared her. We did extensive workshops to make sure the part and the film fit her like a glove.” The National Award winning director also commended the studio, Junglee Pictures, for their support of the creative team, including prominently featuring the names of all writers on the film’s poster.
With Ulajh set to release soon, audiences eagerly await the director’s latest exploration of the spy genre. Besides Janhvi, the film stars Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Adil Hussain and Rajesh Tailang. It is slated to release on August 2.
