Actor Janhvi Kapoor will headline Ulajh, a film billed as a patriotic thriller, the makers announced Wednesday.

Directed by National Award winner Sudhanshu Saria and produced by Junglee Pictures, the movie also stars Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew.

Kapoor, who was last seen in Mili, said she was instantly drawn to the unique story of Ulajh.

“When I was approached with the script of Ulajh it instantly attracted me because as an actor, I am constantly looking for scripts that make me break out of my comfort zone and portraying a character based in the celebrated world of the Indian Foreign Service was just that,” the 26-year-old actor said in a statement.

The script of Ulajh is penned by Saria and Parveez Shaikh, with dialogues by Atika Chohan.

Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, Sachin Khedekar, Rajendra Gupta and Jitendra Joshi also round out the cast of the film.

Ulajh will go on floors by the end of the month.
