Earlier as per reports in Filmfare, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif had opted out of ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ and Anushka Sharma and Kiara Advani were being considered for the project.
Meanwhile, contrary to claims, as per the exclusive report in Koimoi the three actresses are very much a part of the film. The reports also claimed that Farhan would drop the project if any of the three opt out.
The portal quoted a source saying “Not only is she doing it, Jee Le Zaraa won’t be made without the original cast: Katrina, Priyanka and Alia. If one of them decides to opt-out, Farhan Akhtar will drop the project. The three protagonists’ roles have been written with the three actresses in mind,” says a source very close to Farhan.
As for the endless speculation on Priyanka Chopra Jonas, “The project got delayed as Farhan couldn’t get the right male actors to co-star with the three ladies. The dates would have to be worked accordingly,” says the source.
Meanwhile, numerous hypothetical speculations persist about Priyanka Chopra Jonas' involvement in the project. The most recent report on her participation even hints that she didn’t like the script. But as per the source, Farhan hasn’t shown the script to any of the actresses. “Farhan has not shown the script to any of the three leading ladies. He intends to have a combined narration for Priyanka, Katrina and Alia as soon as he locks in the male leads,” says the source.
For the unversed, there were reports that the film was shelved due to some reasons. Talking about the US-based publication Variety, director Farhan Akhtar shared that the film is on hold at the moment. "We just have issues with dates, and the actor's strike that happened has put Priyanka's dates into a huge tizzy with what can happen and what can't, so I've started genuinely believing that that film now has a destiny of its own. It'll happen when it has to, we'll see," Farhan told Variety.
