As
the
countdown
for
Ulajh
begins
for
its
August
2
release,
the
makers
held
a
showcase
of
the
film’s
steamy
dance
number
Shaukan,
which
features
Janhvi
Kapoor
and
Gulshan
Devaiah.
At
the
media
interaction,
Janhvi
emphasised
that
her
character
in
the
political
thriller
is
vastly
different
from
her
previous
ones,
as
she
is
not
playing
a
damsel
in
distress.
“I
feel
it’s
a
very
different
character
for
me.
In
my
earlier
films,
I
played
meek,
very
innocent,
kind
of
roles
but
Suhana
(her
character’s
name
in
the
film)
is
not
like
that.
She
is
not
an
abla
naari
(damsel
in
distress)
and
that
was
very
exciting
for
me,”
the
actress
shares.
Janhvi
plays
an
Indian
Foreign
Service
officer
in
the
film,
and
claims
that
Ulajh
is
more
than
just
a
spy
thriller.
“When
I
was
reading
the
script,
I
was
expecting
what
usually
is
expected
from
the
spy
thriller,
(but)
this
film
is
more
than
that.
It’s
a
coming
of-age,
emotional,
thrilling
and
entertaining.
It’s
also
about
a
woman’s
journey
in
a
man’s
world,”
she
says.
Dressed
in
stylish
formals,
Janhvi
exuded
boss
lady
vibes
as
she
attended
the
musical
gathering
with
Director
Sudhanshu
Saria
and
actor
Roshan
Mathew.
Gulshan
couldn’t
be
a
part
of
the
event
due
to
‘professional
obligation’.
“I
have
a
professional
obligation,
that’s
why
I
couldn’t
be
part
of
the
promotional
campaign
as
much
as
I
would
like.
It
is
something
I
enjoy
also.
I
am
trying
to
my
bits
from
wherever
I
can,”
Gulshan
told
Mayur
Sanap/Rediff.com
later.
What
did
Janhvi’s
boyfriend
Shikhar
Pahariya
think
of
the
song?

The
musical
event
was
also
attended
by
Composer
Shashwat
Sachdeva
and
Singer
Jubin
Nautiyal,
who
sang
the
Shaukan
song.
Watch
Jubin
perform
Shaukan:
When
the
host
asked
Janhvi
to
perform
the
hook
step
from
the
song,
she
immediately
obliged
and
invited
folks
from
the
media
to
dance
along.
Watch
Janhvi
shake
a
leg
to
Shaukan:
Director
Sudhanshu
Saria
shared
that
he
wasn’t
initially
keen
about
having
songs
in
the
film
but
changed
his
mind
when
he
understood
their
importance.
“There
is
a
certain
kind
of
requirement
for
films
like
Ulajh,”
he
says.
“The
patriotism
you
are
showing
on
screen
is
also
important
with
what
the
audience
is
listening
to
in
terms
of
music.
We
have
collectively
tried
to
create
a
perfect
blend.
There
are
different
flavours
of
music
that
we
have
brought
together,
and
the
songs
are
very
audience-friendly,”
says
Sudanshu.
Why
don’t
we
see
Roshan
Mathew
in
more
Hindi
films?
He
tells
us
here.
The
makers
also
gave
a
peek
into
another
of
the
film’s
tracks,
Aaja
Oye.
The
event
ended
with
Composer
Shashwat
Sachdev
singing
the
patriotic
song
Main
Hoon
Tera
Ae
Watan
that
left
everyone
in
awe.
