Jee Le Zaraa is one of the most awaited movies since it was announced by the makers. The movie stars Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. Over the years the film has been delayed for several reasons including unavailability of dates among the three actresses. Giving a major update about the road trip movie, Zoya Akhtar revealed that the actresses could not match the dates with each other and with Farhan Akhtar as well, who is going to direct it. 

In an interview with The Indian Express, Zoya was asked about what held up the project for so long. She said, “I think aligning the three of them, their dates, and Farhan, his dates.” During the same interview, aved Akhtar also showcased his admiration for Alia Bhatt. He said “Alia, today, is perhaps, if not the, then definitely one of the few finest actors.” 

The movie is written by Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar, and Reema Kagti. It has been produced by Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, and Farhan Akhtar. 

While announcing the movie on Instagram, Priyanka wrote, “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!!”

She added, “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. See you at the movies.”
