As per the latest report of an entertainment portal, Farhan Akhtar and the officials at Excel are exploring the possibilities of reviving Jee Le Zaraa. The source said, “While Jee Le Zaraa was put on the backburner before proceeding to the pre-production stage, the team at Excel was continuing to give the final touches to the script. The film was put on the back burner due to date issues and not completely called off, as it’s a pet project for all the stakeholders – from the producers to writers and director. The script is completely in place and the team is now looking to revive the project.”
The source further added, “During her visit to India, Farhan Akhtar met Priyanka Chopra as well to restart the conversation of Jee Le Zaraa. He has been in touch with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt too. The trio is working out on the combination dates with a positive intent of bringing the film back on track.”
During an interview, Farhan Akhtar had claimed that the dates were an issue behind the delay. For which he said, “We just have issues with dates, and the actor’s strike that’s happened has put Priyanka’s dates into a huge tizzy with what can happen and what can’t, so I’ve started genuinely believing that that film now has a destiny of its own. It’ll happen when it has to, we’ll see.”
When Jee Le Zara was announced by the director Farhan Akhtar, it had made everyone excited as the movie has a brilliant cast of Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra. Audiences are really excited to see another road-trip film like Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara but the only difference is this will be a women-centric cast. Unfortunately , its delay has left fans disappointed.
