Ulajh actor Roshan says desire to enjoy filming process takes precedent while choosing movie

Gulshan Devaiah, Janhvi Kapoor and Roshan Mathew star in the film
Presented with a commercial offering, Roshan Mathew says he is drawn to the “person on the paper”. Set to feature in the upcoming Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Ulajh, Mathew admits the narrative met all the requirements essential for the making of a thriller. “I agreed to do the film because it was unlike anything I had done before. I had a lot of fun while shooting the film because the energy on the set was youthful. I believe these aspects always translate to the performance on screen.”
Although a spy thriller, Ulajh may well be seen as an action drama, a genre that has been fairly exploited in the past few years. Ask him if he believes the audience has grown weary of the genre, and he says, “No one knows what is working. You have to simply be an actor and be out of your head while shooting. While you may re-evaluate [your choices] in the run-up to the release, you cannot mull over these aspects while shooting. What motivates me is the desire to have fun at work. I never lose sight of that.”
