It looks like the wait to see Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt together on screen is getting longer. Buzz is that Farhan Akhtar’s directorial venture, Jee Le Zaraa, with the three actors, is unlikely to roll this September. His road-trip film, scripted along with Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, has generated abundant curiosity since its announcement. But blame it on the actors’ busy schedules that their combination dates are available only in early 2023. Alia, who is currently in the UK, filming her Hollywood debut, Heart of Stone, with Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan, will first complete Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani after her return. Katrina has Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas, Maneesh Sharma’s Tiger 3 and Gurmmeet Singh’s Phone Bhoot lined up, while Priyanka has Russo Brothers’ Citadel and her Hollywood film, It’s All Coming Back To Me to complete before she returns to B-Town.
