‘Strike has put Priyanka’s dates into huge tizzy’: Farhan on ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ shoot

Waiting for Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif's Jee Le Zaraa to go on floors? If yes, then you will be left a little disappointed.

In an interview with 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 writers’ strike that’s 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.

Farhan referred to an ongoing writers and actors' strike in Hollywood.

The film promises to be another tale of friendship following the lineage of Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The upcoming film will star Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.

Farhan announced Jee Le Zaraa in August 2021.

"Did someone say road trip? Thrilled to announce my next film as director and what better day than 20 years of 'Dil Chahta Hai' to do it. #JeeLeZaraa with @priyankachopra #KatrinaKaif @aliaa08. I cannot wait to get this show on the road," Farhan had posted on Twitter.

Farhan has penned the film's script with Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti.

Indian actors who made TIME 100 before Ranbir Kapoor and what set them apart

Highlights

  • Ranbir Kapoor joins a short, selective list of Indian actors recognised by TIME
  • Earlier names were featured at moments of global crossover or cultural influence
  • The list shows how international visibility shapes recognition

Ranbir Kapoor’s inclusion in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list for 2026 places him in a rare group of Indian actors who have featured over the years. While the list spans global figures across industries, representation from Indian cinema has remained limited, with only a handful of actors making the cut at key moments of international visibility. Kapoor now joins that short list, adding a new chapter to how such influence is being defined.
