Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif ready for Jee Le Zaraa, says Farhan Akhtar, ‘we’ll start soon’

After years of anticipation, actor-director Farhan Akhtar has confirmed that the long-awaited film Jee Le Zaraa is finally ready to roll. The director revealed that the shooting schedules for the three lead actresses, Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif, have been finalised, clearing the way for production to begin soon.

This announcement comes as a relief to fans who have been eagerly awaiting the all-star, female-led road-trip film since it was first announced. Originally announced in 2021, Jee Le Zaraa promised to be a unique venture in Bollywood, bringing together three of the industry’s top actresses in a story centered on friendship and adventure.

However, the project faced repeated delays, mainly due to scheduling conflicts among the busy stars. Over time, rumours even suggested that the film might be shelved, creating uncertainty among fans.

Recently, in a chat with YouTuber Samdish, Farhan Akhtar shared how Jee Le Zaraa kept getting delayed after the team made the announcement. He admitted that coordinating the schedules of three major stars had been challenging, requiring him to turn down other acting and directing opportunities to remain committed to the project.

This interview left fans wondering if Jee Le Zaraa was shelved for good. But now, in a new chat with Deccan Chronicle, Farhan has said, “To be honest, it was traumatic trying to get the actors’ dates. But we’ve sorted all that out. We’ll start soon.”

Revealing about the movie, Priyanka shared a post and wrote, “Let’s rewind, to me musing about wanting to do another Hindi movie ASAP, on an unusually rainy night in Mumbai in Nov 2019. But it had to be the right one - different, cool, never been done before… I thought. The idea grew into a movie helmed by an all-female cast. There are not enough Hindi movies that are female multi-starters. This led to an impulsive phone call… to my 2 real friends about this idea that involved 3 on-screen girlfriends. A celebration of friendship we called it!!” Now, 4 years later, Farhan has now confirmed that Jee Le Zaraa is happening.
