Farhan Akhtar Finally Confirms Update on Jee Le Zaraa Starring Priyanka Chopra Alia Bhatt Katrina Kaif
Farhan Akhtar has finally delivered the announcement that Bollywood fans have been eagerly anticipating for years. The filmmaker has confirmed that his much-delayed and highly awaited road-trip drama Jee Le Zaraa is officially back on track. After multiple setbacks since its announcement in 2021, Farhan revealed that the dates of the lead trio — Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif — are now “sorted,” ending a long phase of uncertainty.
The film, which was celebrated at the time of its announcement for bringing together three of India’s biggest female superstars, is designed as a story centered on friendship and personal journeys — a spiritual successor to Farhan’s iconic buddy film Dil Chahta Hai and Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
A Dream That Began in 2019
Priyanka Chopra had earlier shared that the concept of Jee Le Zaraa was born back in 2019. She recalled making an impulsive phone call to her close friends Alia and Katrina, pitching the idea of an all-female road trip — something Bollywood had rarely explored at such a scale. The actresses instantly loved the concept, and the film was soon conceptualized with Farhan Akhtar directing and Excel Entertainment backing it.
However, despite the early excitement, the project faced repeated delays due to calendar clashes between the three stars, each juggling international commitments, big-budget films, and production ventures. – Farhan Akhtar Finally Confirms Update on Jee Le Zaraa Starring Priyanka Chopra Alia Bhatt Katrina Kaif
Farhan Calls the Delays ‘Traumatic’
Farhan Akhtar candidly admitted that the constant postponements were extremely stressful. In fact, he even rejected major acting opportunities because he wanted to remain fully committed to directing Jee Le Zaraa. As fan chatter grew louder in recent months — with many questioning whether the film had been shelved — Farhan chose this moment to reassure audiences that the project is very much alive.
With a sense of relief, he confirmed, “All dates have been aligned, everything is sorted. We’ll start soon.”
What Fans Can Expect
While the makers have not yet revealed revised shooting timelines or the updated script details, industry insiders suggest the film will retain its essence — a vibrant, emotional, visually rich road journey focusing on female friendship, ambition, heartbreak, and rediscovery.
Given the massive stardom and global appeal of Priyanka, Alia, and Katrina, the film is expected to have significant international reach as well.

A Much-Needed Boost for Bollywood’s Female-Led Cinema
With conversations around women-centric stories gaining momentum, Jee Le Zaraa is expected to be a refreshing addition. The film will highlight three powerful female narratives without relying on male leads — a rarity for commercial Bollywood.
As the cast, crew, and fans celebrate this update, Jee Le Zaraa now seems poised to finally shift from dream to reality.
With dates locked and the road ahead finally clear, the film’s long journey is about to begin — and audiences couldn’t be more ready to take that trip with Priyanka, Alia, Katrina, and Farhan.
