For fans who have been eagerly awaiting Jee Le Zaraa ever since its grand announcement in 2021, Farhan Akhtar has finally offered some clarity. The much-anticipated film, which was supposed to star Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, has been the subject of endless speculation following repeated delays. While many assumed the project had been shelved, Farhan has now revealed that the script remains alive—only on pause.
Speaking on the YouTube channel Our Stupid Reactions, the actor-filmmaker admitted that while the film is not moving forward at the moment, it is far from abandoned. “I would hate to say that it’s shelved. What I will say is that it’s put on a back burner. It is a film that will happen. I don’t know when it will be. But it’s too delicious a script,” he explained.
Farhan confirmed that the project isn’t idle—location scouts are complete, and the music is ready. The only suspense that lingers is around the casting. “I can’t make any statements about the cast anymore. But as for the film—yes, it will happen,” he affirmed, leaving fans to wonder if the three leading ladies will return together.
Conceptualized as a female-led road trip drama, Jee Le Zaraa was envisioned as the next big ensemble film from the team behind Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. With Farhan, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti on writing duties, expectations were always high for a fresh take on friendship and travel—this time through the lens of women’s experiences.
For now, Farhan’s immediate focus is elsewhere. With Don 3 in the pipeline and Ranveer Singh stepping into the titular role, the filmmaker is gearing up for the iconic franchise’s revival.
Though Jee Le Zaraa remains in limbo, Farhan’s assurance has reignited hope. After all, as he puts it, the script is “too delicious” to be left untold.
