After his blockbuster cult road trip film Dil Chahta Hai, filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar is back as a director with his next. This time the story will be centered around three female characters and their road trip. The film will star top A list actresses of Bollywood namely; Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif in the lead. Interestingly the makers are planning to get the boys from filmmaker Zoya Akhtar’s film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) for a special cameo. They include Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol and Farhan himself. Zoya is also one of the writers of the upcoming film.

Jee Le Zaraa will go on floors next year and is written by Farhan Akhtar, Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar. The film will see a crossover between the female characters of the film with the male characters of ZNMD in a wonderful cameo. The film will most likely hit the big screens in 2023.

Priyanka had announced the film in August 2021 and written, “Let’s rewind, to me musing about wanting to do another Hindi movie ASAP, on an unusually rainy night in Mumbai in Nov 2019. But it had to be the right one - different, cool, never been done before… I thought. The idea grew into a movie helmed by an all-female cast. There are not enough Hindi movies that are female multi-starrers. This led to an impulsive phone call… to my 2 real friends about this idea that involved 3 on-screen girlfriends. A celebration of friendship we called it!! Katrina, Alia, and I enthusiastically met in February 2020 (as seen in this picture), just before the world shut down, to discuss who we could trust to bring this vision to life for us and our choice was unanimous… Farhan and Ritesh, Zoya and Reema. We had all worked with @excelmovies and @tigerbabyfilms individually so this seemed perfect. It just so happened that Farhan was working on a female road trip movie at the same time! Talk about all the stars aligning!! And here we are today… #JeeLeZaraa… it only took 3 years to align all our schedules but we stuck together and got it done! This one is to sisterhood… to friendship and to breaking the mould!! Can’t wait to get on the road with Aloo and Katty. My heart’s smiling.”
