The buzz around ‘Jee Le Zaraa’, the much-awaited road trip film starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, has taken a turn as reports of significant production challenges have surfaced. Initially announced with great fanfare by director Farhan Akhtar in 2021, the film was set to be a celebration of female friendship and adventure, much in the spirit of Akhtar’s previous hit Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. However, recent developments suggest that the project is facing several hurdles that could potentially delay or even derail its progress.
Does it have to do with the scheduling conflicts of Alia, PC and Katrina as they have been saying? Or are there issues with the script? Or have they just delayed it because of Farhan doing another film? What is the real reason?
Farhan seems to be busy himself with his acting work, supposedly. Alia is busy too with Jigra, followed by Baiju Bawra and the YRF action film. Katrina doesn’t have anything lined up, i think. Priyanka will probably finish her Hollywood film HEADS OF STATE by the end of this year unless it already wapped filming, after which i dont think she has anything lined up. I don’t think Zoya has anything booked after The Archies as well. Maybe a casting reshuffle since Alia isn’t available and Zoya directing it instead of Farhan? Although Alia’s loss would be a significant blow to the box-office chances for the film. Additionally, rumours have emerged about potential changes in the cast, as the prolonged delays have caused concerns among the production team. While no official announcements have been made, the uncertainty surrounding the film’s timeline has fuelled speculation that one or more of the leading ladies might be replaced if schedules cannot be coordinated.
Despite the setbacks, sources close to the project maintain that Farhan Akhtar is still committed to bringing ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ to the big screen, though the timeline and final cast might change. Fans of the stars and the film’s concept are eagerly awaiting more concrete updates, but for now, the future of ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ remains uncertain.
With mounting challenges and no confirmed start date, Bollywood’s most anticipated road trip film hangs in the balance, leaving fans to wonder if this dream project will ever hit the road.
