Janhvi Kapoor left many impressed by featuring in a never-seen-before role of a diplomat in the recently released Ulajh. The actress shared screen space with many prominent names from the industry in the political thriller and among them was Adil Hussain, who played the role of her father. Interestingly, he was also her late mother Sridevi co-star in the highly successful 2012 film English Vinglish.
Adil Hussain compares Janhvi Kapoor to her mother Sridevi; says, “Her sincerity reminded me of Sridevi”
Speaking about working with the mother-daughter duo, Adil Hussain not only appreciated Janhvi Kapoor but also revealed why she reminded him of Sridevi. In a recent interview, he 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.”
He further added, “During the shoot, it was very interesting because my relationship with her (Janhvi) 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.”
Ulajh also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Meiyang Chang, among others and released in theatres on August 2.
