The much-anticipated film “Zee Le Zaraa,” which was announced in 2021, has been making headlines for three years. This movie features three of Bollywood’s top actresses: Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt. Set against the backdrop of a road trip adventure, the film has generated immense excitement among fans who are eager to see these leading ladies together on screen. However, the production work has faced delays, causing concern among supporters. Recently, there were reports suggesting that the film’s production had come to a halt. Fortunately, updates have confirmed that while delays are occurring, the project is still on track, with hopes for shooting to commence soon. However, significant progress has yet to be seen. Recently, producer Zoya Akhtar shared some important insights regarding the film’s status.
What’s Causing the Delay in ‘Zee Le Zaraa’?
Zoya Akhtar recently spoke with Indian Express, shedding light on the reasons behind the delay of “Zee Le Zaraa” featuring Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif. One of the key challenges is the busy schedules of these top-tier actresses. Each has multiple commitments in place prior to filming this project. For instance, Priyanka Chopra is simultaneously involved in Hollywood films and series, as well as producing several films of her own. According to Zoya, coordinating the schedules of all three actresses has proven to be quite challenging. Additionally, managing the schedule of director Farhan Akhtar, who is also committed to multiple projects, adds another layer of complexity to the production timeline.
Current Projects of the Leading Ladies
As of now, Priyanka Chopra is in India following her brother’s wedding and has participated in an event for her upcoming Marathi film “Paani,” produced under her production company. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is busy with her upcoming release and currently filming “Alpha.” She is also slated to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s project titled “Love and War.” On the other hand, Katrina Kaif’s upcoming projects have not been officially announced yet, but fans are eager for updates.
Film’s Joint Venture and Creative Team
“Zee Le Zaraa” is a joint venture between Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby Films. The screenplay has been collaboratively written by Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar, and Reema Kagti. Recently, lyricist Javed Akhtar praised Alia Bhatt’s impressive performance in “Gangubai Kathiawadi,” reiterating the caliber of talent involved in this film.
A Glimpse Into their Journey
Alia Bhatt had previously shared an Instagram post featuring a photo with Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra, reminiscing about their journey together in creating “Zee Le Zaraa.” She wrote about their dream of uniting for this film, emphasizing how they came together two years ago. Similarly, Priyanka Chopra also shared an endearing post about their reunion, noting their discussions with Farhan Akhtar about conceptualizing a road trip movie before the pandemic disrupted their plans in February 2020.
As fans await further developments, the excitement around “Zee Le Zaraa” continues to build. With its star-studded cast and engaging premise, this film promises to be a significant addition to Bollywood’s slate once it finally progresses into production.
