‘Jee Le Zaraa’ has been a topic of excitement ever since Farhan Akhtar announced his return to direction with this slice-of-life road trip film in 2021. The multi-talented personality created a buzz by bringing together Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt for the project. Despite the initial hype, the film faced scheduling conflicts, causing the cast to move on to other commitments. However, the latest news suggests that Farhan Akhtar and the officials at Excel are now exploring possibilities to revive ‘Jee Le Zaraa.’
According to Pinkvilla, while ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ was put on the backburner before proceeding to the pre-production stage, the team at Excel continued to finalize the script. The film was delayed due to date issues but was never completely called off, as it’s a cherished project for all the stakeholders – from the producers to the writers and director. The script is now fully ready, and the team is looking to revive the project. ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ has been on the bucket list for Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby, aiming to complete a trilogy of slice-of-life friendship films following the much-loved ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.’ During her visit to India, Farhan Akhtar met with Priyanka Chopra to restart the conversation about ‘Jee Le Zaraa.’ He has also been in touch with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, and the trio is working on coordinating their schedules with the positive intent of bringing the film back on track.
I hope to see ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ begin shooting as it’s something i’ve been waiting on since extremely long and the scope to see these three leading stars in one film is truly a dream come true!
