Farhan Akhtar Breaks Silence On Jee Le Zaraa Delay; Says, “There Are Too Many Rumours On Too Many Things”

About five years ago, a photo of Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif went viral when the actors announced they would be starring together in their first film, titled Jee Le Zaraa. While there has been much speculation about whether the film is happening—or if it’s happening at all—Farhan Akhtar has once again addressed the rumours.

Farhan Akhtar Breaks Silence On Jee Le Zaraa Delay

When asked if Jee Le Zaraa might return with a new cast, Farhan Akhtar told The Hollywood Reporter India, “There are too many rumours doing the rounds about too many things. I have always maintained that I honestly don’t like keeping any secrets when I am making a film. Every time I felt like something is ready to go, I have put it out in the world and shared it with them. And I’ll do the same.”

He added, “Right now, I am in a place where I really need to think about what I want to do next as a director. Because so many things have transpired in the last couple of years that I feel like I just need to catch my breath and really just see where my heart lies with it. Once that happens, I’ll let the world know.”

On The Multiple Delays

In 2023, Farhan Akhtar addressed the delays surrounding Jee Le Zaraa during an interview with Variety. He explained, “We just have issues with dates, and the actors’ strike that’s happened has put Priyanka’s [Chopra] 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.”

In a conversation with Samdish on his YouTube channel, Priyanka Chopra revealed, “So my film Toofan was released in 2021, and right after that, I was set to direct a film called Jee Le Zaraa. It just kept getting delayed, and for those two years, I kept saying no to all other opportunities that came my way. I did that because when you have to direct, you can only focus on that. If an acting role came, I told them, ‘No, I’m soon going to be directing.'”

Other cast or crew members have provided no further updates.
