Amidst the success of her latest release Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala, Alia Bhatt has offered insights into another highly anticipated project – Jee Le Zaraa. During a recent interview with a leading news portal, the actress shed light on the film’s delays and clarified that the project remains close to everyone’s heart despite ongoing challenges.
Jee Le Zaraa was initially announced with much excitement by Farhan Akhtar on the 20th anniversary of Dil Chahta Hai back in 2021. The film promised to be a refreshing take on road trip adventures but with a twist — this time, it would feature three female protagonists played by Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Katrina Kaif. Given the powerhouse trio and the exciting premise, the film created a lot of buzz, positioning itself as a symbol of female camaraderie and adventure.
However, production has faced setbacks, leading to rumors of the film being shelved. Addressing these speculations, Alia Bhatt revealed that the delays have primarily been due to logistical challenges in finalizing schedules that work for everyone involved. “The film’s schedule has not been finalised, but everyone involved, including the cast, wants it to be made,” she said, confirming that the project is still on the table.
Alia’s statement rekindles hope for the fans who have been eagerly waiting to see her collaborate with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Katrina Kaif for the first time. With their global fan following and diverse cinematic appeal, Jee Le Zaraa promises to be a landmark film if it comes to fruition.
For Farhan Akhtar, who will direct the film, Jee Le Zaraa carries the potential to replicate the magic of his cult classic Dil Chahta Hai, but from a female perspective. However, as Alia hinted, the cast’s busy schedules and other logistical obstacles are proving to be significant hurdles.
While there’s no official word on when production will begin, Alia’s optimism suggests that the film remains a priority for everyone involved. “It’s not shelved,” she emphasized, hinting that the makers are still actively trying to figure out how to move forward.
With Jee Le Zaraa being eagerly awaited by audiences, the hope is that the production team will soon align their schedules and bring the much-anticipated project to life.
