Farhan Akhtar’s ambitious Jee Le Zaraa gears up for revival: Reports

In 2021, Farhan Akhtar excited fans by announcing his return to directing with the slice-of-life road trip film Jee Le Zaraa. The multi-talented filmmaker managed to assemble a star-studded cast, featuring Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt. However, due to scheduling conflicts, the film never moved forward, leading the cast to pursue other projects. But now, the latest buzz suggests that Farhan Akhtar and Excel Entertainment are looking into reviving Jee Le Zaraa.

According to Pinkvilla, “While Jee Le Zaraa was put on hold before pre-production could begin, the team at Excel has been refining the script. The project was paused due to scheduling conflicts, not abandoned, as it’s a passion project for everyone involved – from the producers to the writers and director. The script is ready, and the team is now working on bringing the project back to life."

According to media reports Jee Le Zaraa has been on the bucket list for Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby, as they want to complete a trilogy of slice-of-life friendship films after the much-loved Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara. 

Jee Le Zaraa aims to bring in three of the top stars of their respective eras—Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt—and is among the most anticipated films at the moment. By the end of this year, the shooting timelines will be clearer. Meanwhile, Farhan is committed to acting in a feature film and directing Don 3 with Ranveer Singh.
