In 2021, farhan akhtar unveiled the highly anticipated film Jee Le Zaraa, starring priyanka chopra, alia bhatt, and katrina Kaif. The project was initially slated to begin production last year but was postponed as Akhtar diverted his attention to other ventures, such as Don 3. Recent updates suggest that Akhtar and his production company, Excel Entertainment, are now considering reviving the film.
Zoya Akhtar, who is producing Jee Le Zaraa, recently shared insights into the current status of the film and the reasons behind its delay. She confirmed that the project is still ongoing, with the main hurdle being the coordination of the stars' schedules. “The challenge is aligning their dates, as well as Farhan’s,” Zoya explained.
Earlier this year, a source close to the production revealed to Pinkvilla that although Jee Le Zaraa was paused before entering pre-production, work on the script has continued. The delay was attributed to scheduling conflicts, not to the project being shelved. The film remains a priority for all involved, including producers, writers, and the director. “The film was put on hold due to date issues but not completely canceled. It’s a key project for all stakeholders, and the script is ready. The team is now focused on reviving it,” the source stated.
Jee Le Zaraa is viewed as a crucial project for Excel Entertainment, which aims to complete a trilogy of friendship films, following the success of dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The source also mentioned that farhan akhtar recently met priyanka chopra during a visit to india to discuss the film and has been in touch with katrina kaif and alia bhatt to coordinate their schedules and move the project forward.
Despite being announced as an all-female travel film, there have been rumors suggesting that priyanka chopra and katrina kaif might no longer be involved in the project.
