Farhan Akhtar will be bringing his new directorial, Jee Le Zaraa in the future. The upcoming road trip movie stars Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif as the leads. After back-to-back delays, the film is currently on hold due to issues with the dates alignment of three leading ladies.
Jee Le Zaraa, which is the first female-led road trip movie, has high anticipation and immense buzz among fans as the trio haven't shared the screen space in a movie yet. Going by PeeCee, Alia and Katrina's respective screen presence, it will be quite interesting to watch a tale of female friendship with their camaraderie.
