Farhan Akhtar's 'Jee Le Zaraa' may 'never be made': Report
Contrary to circulating reports, Farhan Akhtar has no plans to "revive" his previously announced project, Jee Le Zaraa, reported Times Now on Sunday. This is in contrast to a recent Pinkvilla report that suggested that the film, featuring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt was being resurrected after its announcement two years ago. However, a source close to Akhtar reportedly denied these claims stating that the film was never started in the first place.
Akhtar's future projects and the status of 'Jee Le Zaraa'
The insider close to Akhtar clarified that the director is not considering starting Jee Le Zaraa "anytime soon." The source even suggested that the film may "never be made." "Some entertainment outlets 'revive' dormant stories when they have nothing to fill their space," said the source, dismissing the rumors as baseless. They also revealed that Akhtar's next likely project is Don 3 with Ranveer Singh, which is currently facing delays due to script polishing needs.
What did the recent report say?
Earlier, a source told PV that "the team at Excel was continuing to give the final touches to the script" and now the script is complete. The film is viewed as a "pet project" by all stakeholders involved, including producers, writers, and Akhtar himself. The source revealed, "During her visit to India, Farhan met Priyanka as well to restart the conversation. He has been in touch with Katrina and Alia, too." Now, the fim's fate hangs in balance.
