In 2021, actor and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar unveiled Jee Le Zaraa, which sparked excitement on the internet. What`s the highlight? An all-female lead cast includes three of our country`s brightest stars: Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif. PeeCee related the narrative of how they met, “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-starters. 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!!” but the project never got off the ground owing to scheduling conflicts. However, four years later, Farhan has confirmed that Jee Le Zaraa is taking place.

However, in a fresh interview with Deccan Chronicle, Farhan stated, “To be honest, it was painful trying to get the actors` dates. But we`ve straightened it all out. “We`ll start soon.”
