Adil Hussain is known for doing a diverse range of movies in Indian Cinema. The actor’s notable work in the industry is in films like Life of Pi, English Vinglish and Ishqiya. Recently, the actor was seen in Ulajh which stars Janhvi Kapoor in the lead. Speaking about his experience working with the actress, Adil shared his memories of working with her mother Sridevi. He also stated that he said ‘yes’ to the movie as he had known Sridevi and Janhvi Kapoor for a very long time. The actor also praised Janhvi for her sincerity and shared that there are some positive striking elements.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Adil said “It's very nostalgic to work with Janhvi because I met her several times when she came to the set with her mother, Sridevi. She was a little girl of 12-14 years old. I saw her several times and said hello to her. She would come and quietly sit on the set with her mother between takes because Sridevi was a quiet person but extremely loving. That is one of the reasons I am in the film. Also, the story is amazing and I've known Sudhanshu Saria for some time now.”
“During the shoot, it was very interesting because my relationship with her in the film is very close. It was also nostalgic, and we spoke about her mother. I cooked for her in New York when she was there; we were shooting for English Vinglish at that time. What I noticed about her is that she probably imbibed from her mother, who was a great example of how an actor should be on set - completely focused, quiet, sincere, and yet very spontaneous at the same time, with the innocence of herself transpiring through the character. These were very striking elements that I have seen in her,” he added.
Ulajh is a thriller movie directed by Sudhanshu Saria. The movie stars Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Meiyang Chang, Rajesh Tailang, Sachin Khedekar, Rajendra Gupta, Adil Hussain, Sakshi Tanwar and Himanshu Malik in significant roles. The film released in theatres on 2nd August 2024.
