一 | Farhan Akhtar’s much-anticipated road drama Jee Le Zara is officially back in motion, quashing months of speculation that the film had quietly been shelved. The project, headlined by Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, had been announced with enormous excitement. However, this project soon ran into the complicated reality of aligning schedules for three of India’s most in-demand stars.
According to industry sources, the biggest roadblock from the outset was locking dates that worked for all three leads, particularly Priyanka Chopra, whose global film and TV commitments repeatedly clashed with the production timeline. However, Priyanka has now reportedly carved out space in her calendar, clearing a major hurdle and reviving momentum around the film.
But scheduling wasn’t the only sticking point. Farhan and co-writers Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti were intent on casting three prominent male actors opposite the female trio — a creative choice that extended the search and slowed progress. Finding male co-stars who could match the stature of Priyanka, Katrina and Alia became a challenge in itself.Adding to the delay were the major life changes the actresses experienced since the film’s announcement in 2021. All three actresses have embraced motherhood since the announcement of the film. Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt have also gotten married since the 2021 announcements.
Farhan Akhtar confirmed the development in a recent interaction, admitting just how exhausting the process had been. “To be honest, it was traumatic trying to get the actors’ dates. But we’ve sorted all that out. We’ll start soon,” he said, offering the most concrete update in years.
The film originally came together after Priyanka pitched the idea during a late-night call in 2019, envisioning a rare, all-female buddy road trip that celebrates friendship, something Bollywood has seldom explored at this scale.
Now, after years of delays and uncertainty, Jee Le Zara is finally gearing up to roll. Fans awaiting the film can breathe easy: the film is happening.

Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena pointed out that the Labour Ministry has taken steps to establish a comprehensive digitised database of the workforce and urged the ILO to assist in expediting the process, the Daily Mirror reported.
This was discussed when ILO Country Director Simrin C Singh and ILO Headquarters Senior Employment Specialist Sher Verick called on the Prime Minister this week.
The ILO received a first-hand briefing on the impact of the Covid pandemic and economic crisis on the labour workforce and the short-term and long-term steps taken by the government to recover the economy and to help the workers, especially the low-income labour force.
During the meeting, Singh pointed out that despite some signs of positive trends, most developing countries, including Sri Lanka, were faced with difficulties, due to global recession, limited fiscal space, debt sustainability challenges and rising inflation.
The Prime Minister said the government was keen to make the labour workforce upwardly mobile and explained the multitude of training programmes launched for skill development.
The ILO delegation assured fullest support to all the efforts taken by the government for the well-being of the labour and measures for upgrading the skills of the workforce.
