Alia Bhatt has been busy promoting her film Jigra, which released in theatres on Friday. One of the actor's most-awaited projects is Jee Le Zaraa, which was announced way back in 2021. Since then, there have been speculation that Farhan Akhtar’s anticipated directorial project has been shelved because of the murmurs around Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif walking out of the project. Speaking with The Lallantop, Alia finally addressed the delay of the film. (Also read: Did Karan Johar call Divya Khossla Kumar ‘a fool’ after her dig at Alia Bhatt's Jigra?

When asked about Jee Le Zaraa, Alia said, “Jee Le Zaraa is also right now… we have not scheduled shooting. Definitely, hogi! Its a film that everybody- jo bhi key players hein uss film mein, actors and producers, director, everybody wants the film to happen but logistically kaafi difficult ho raha tha to get all the dates together but I think sab ke agar zahan mein he aur intent mein hein toh woh film ban jayegi (It is difficult to get the dates of the key players together but everyone has it in their mind that that the film has to be made).”

The buddy road movie will mark Farhan Akhtar’s directorial comeback after over a decade, was announced on the 20th anniversary of his 2001 directorial debut Dil Chahta Hai. Farhan went on to announce Don 3 as his next project last year, with Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani in lead roles.
