Junglee Pictures’ next project is a big-budget stylized espionage drama called Ulajh, directed by Sudhanshu Saria. The woman-led spy thriller has been written by veteran screenwriter Parveez Shaikh who has earlier written Queen (2014) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015).
Saria, who won a National award for his short film Knock Knock Knock, has also directed the critically acclaimed love story Loev (2021) which is now on Netflix. He is also working on two web-series, including the upcoming season of the award-winning anthology series Delhi Crime (2019).
Ulajh will be extensively filmed in foreign locales when it begins shooting next year. The film’s protagonist comes from a prominent family of patriots, who gets entangled in a dangerous personal conspiracy, away from home on her first international posting.
Saria stated, “In a time of perfection and superheroes, it’s wonderful to have a script that dares to look at 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.”
Next year's line-up of Junglee Pictures includes Badhaai Do, Doctor G, Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan and a film on ’Dosa King’ P Rajagopal.
