The month of August will begin with the release of two interesting mid-sized films – Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Ulajh. Speaking of Ulajh, the film has managed to catch attention as it deals with the world of foreign services and thus is a one-of-its-kind entertainer. In this article, we’ll report on the cuts the Jahnvi Kapoor-starrer got from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The makers of Ulajh completed the censor process well in time and were awarded a U/A certificate. The CBFC, however, asked for a few deletions. To begin, the word ‘f**k’ was muted in multiple places. Similarly, the word ‘f**king bastard’ was also muted. In the same scene, a vulgar hand gesture was asked to be blurred. Finally, the word ‘c*****a’ was asked to be muted wherever uttered in the film. The film wasn’t subjected to any visual cuts.

Once these cuts were enforced, the makers of Ulajh were handed over the censor certificate on July 15. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 134 minutes. In other words, Ulajh is 2 hours and 14 minutes long. The film releases in cinemas on August 2.

Besides Janhvi Kapoor, Ulajh also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Meiyang Chang, Rajesh Tailang, Adil Hussain and Jitendra Joshi. It is backed by Junglee Pictures and is directed by Sudhanshu Saria. The film was officially announced in May 2023 with the whole star cast posing together in a serious avatar. As per the first statement released by the producers, Ulajh is the story of a young IFS officer, belonging to a prominent family of patriots, who gets embroiled in a dangerous personal conspiracy while far from her home turf.

In an interview with Mid-Day in October last year, Gulshan Devaiah spoke highly of Janhvi Kapoor, “I never imagined that we would be paired together in a film because we have different sensibilities. Whenever two people with contrasting styles come together, it can be interesting. When we met, she mentioned a few nice observations about my character. She is extremely hardworking. I couldn’t do the amount of things that she does in a week.”

Bollywood actress Sharvari Wagh has stepped into the high-octane world of Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe. Cast alongside Alia Bhatt in the upcoming film, Alpha, Wagh is undergoing a rigorous physical transformation under the expert guidance of fitness trainer Robin Behl.

The brief for Wagh’s character was clear: strong, sexy, and capable. However, Behl was quick to dispel the myth that strength equates to masculinity. “Sharvari was already in great shape, but for Alpha, we needed to take her fitness to the next level,” he explained it to Mid-day in an interview. “The challenge was to build strength without compromising her femininity or the fluidity of her movements.”

The training regimen was a meticulous blend of strength, endurance, and agility. “We focused on building a strong core, powerful legs, and upper body strength,” said Behl. “But it wasn’t just about lifting weights. We incorporated a lot of bodyweight exercises, handstands, and mobility drills to ensure her movements were graceful and dynamic.” To add an edge to her physique and movement, boxing was introduced into the routine.

Behl also aimed to instil in Wagh the mindset of an athlete. To achieve this, he introduced her to the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the tutelage of Carl Varel, Asia’s number-six expert in the sport. “I wanted Sharvari to experience the grappling, clinching, and take-downs firsthand,” Behl explained. “This would help her understand how athletes move and react, which is crucial for action sequences.”

The training was gruelling, but Wagh’s determination was unwavering. “She was a relentless student,” Behl said admiringly. “I often found myself struggling to keep up with her energy levels. She was always eager to push her limits and try new things.”

The results of this intensive training are evident in Wagh’s physique. She has shed nine-percent body fat in just five months while gaining muscle mass and definition.

Alpha is directed by Shiv Rawail, who last helmed The Railway Men. Meanwhile, Wagh is also gearing up for the release of her other film, Vedaa, directed by Nikkhil Advani. The film is slated for a clash with Khel Khel Mein and Stree 2 on August 15.

On Saturday, July 27, Jio Studios and B62 Studios confirmed that Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019) director Aditya Dhar’s next will feature Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. A black-and-white picture comprising these five actors and Aditya Dhar was released by the makers and it became a talking point. The film also went on floors last week, on July 25. The press release didn’t mention what the film is all about but as per reports, it’s a period action thriller, set against the backdrop of the geopolitical scenario between India and Pakistan. Soon, speculations began that Ranveer would play Ajit Doval, the current National Security Advisor of India, in his younger days.

Bollywood Hungama has learned that while the film does touch upon Ajit Doval’s life, it is not Ranveer who’d essay the character. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “It is R Madhavan who plays the coveted part. He’ll have a cool, different look in the film and it’s something that the actor is excited about. Like always, he’s giving his heart and soul to this role as well. The makers are confident that it’s something to watch out for.”

The source however had no information on whether the character would be named Ajit Doval or will it be inspired by the man. Also, there are no details available about the character essayed by Ranveer Singh.

Interestingly, this is the second time that Aditya Dhar would show Ajit Doval in his film. In Uri: The Surgical Strike, Paresh Rawal’s character Govind Bhardwaj was based on Ajit Doval.

The press release given out by the makers also makes it clear that contrary to popular belief, the film is not called Dhurandhar. The film, as of now, is untitled. It is produced by Jyoti Deshpande from Jio Studios along with Lokesh Dhar and Aditya Dhar under their banner B62 Studios.

As the finale of Bigg Boss OTT 3 approaches, the tension inside the house is palpable. Bigg Boss recently organized a press conference within the house, where journalists were invited to pose questions to the contestants. At the press conference, Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik faced a barrage of questions due to their polygamous relationship, sparking debates among both housemates and viewers with accusations about it being mistreatment of women. During the same, co-contestant Ranvir Shorey pointed out how the film industry and its audience have historically accepted polygamous relationships involving some of the most celebrated figures.

“Agar aap urban, elite, liberal hote jaise bahut hai jinke 2 biwi hai, main naam nahi lena chahta logon ke jo samjho film stars hai, urban elites hai, unpe itne judgemental shayad hi honge. Maine aapke sath time guzara hai (if you were urban, elite, liberal, there are many who have 2 wives. I don’t wanna take names but for example, we have film stars who are urban elites. We may not be that judgemental towards them. I have spent with you guys), I don’t feel judgemental about it.” This prompted many to wonder: Was Shorey referring to personalities like Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan and Dharmendra?

Salim Khan, the acclaimed screenwriter, has openly maintained relationships with both Salma Khan and Helen, a dynamic that has been widely acknowledged and accepted. Similarly, Dharmendra, the iconic actor, has been married to Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, both relationships being public and respected. While Ranvir did not explicitly name these figures, his comments seemed to hint at them, drawing parallels between their experiences and the situation of Armaan and Kritika Malik.

Along with making the statement, he also emphasized the importance of respecting personal relationships that are built on mutual understanding and consent, regardless of how unconventional they might appear.
