The trailer of Janhvi Kapoor's upcoming film, Ulajh, was released on July 16, Tuesday. The 2 minutes-long trailer of the political thriller features Janhvi as a young bureaucrat who is suspected of being a spy. She plays the role of Suhana Bhatia, a graduate of St. Stephen's College and Harvard University, who ends up becoming the youngest Deputy High Commissioner of the country.

Interestingly, it cannot go unnoticed that Janhvi has left a mark in Bollywood with her spectrum of characters, and memorable roles. Check out her filmography and unconventional role choices in her career so far:
Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut with the romantic drama Dhadak, an adaptation of the Marathi film Sairat. It delved with the repercussions of love across economic disparities, and Janhvi as Parthavi beautifully portrayed the intricacies of her character.
In Zoya Akhtar’s segment of Ghost Stories (2020), Janhvi played Sameera, a nurse attending to an elderly patient. She performed well in the anthology film, set in the realm of suspense and horror.
In the much-loved film, Janhvi Kapoor played the role of Gunjan Saxena, the first Indian Air Force female pilot in combat. Directed by Sharan Sharma, the film saw the actress perfectly highlighting the challenges and triumphs of the aviation pioneer. The way she brought her emotion to the fore with a role rooted in real-life narratives remains commendable.
In the horror-comedy film helmed by Hardik Mehta, Janhvi played a girl Roohi, who is possessed by the mischievous spirit Afza. The actress seamlessly transitioned between Roohi and Afza, and the film, a part of Dinesh Vijan's horror-comedy universe, demonstrated Janhvi’s capability of showcasing humour and quirkiness.
The film, an official remake of the Malayalam film Helen, Janvhi is shown as Mili, a young woman working part-time at a restaurant. However, she accidentally gets locked in a freezer, and her intense performance in the film to bring authenticity garnered applause.
Janhvi, who was last seen in Mr and Mrs Mahi, which released on May 31, will next be seen in Jr NTR starrer Devara: Part 1, and Shashank Khaitan’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari with Varun Dhawan.
