Jee Le Zara: When Priyanka Chopra Jonas met Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt for a movie about '3 Girlfriends'

Jee Le Zara:: Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas has announced her big comeback to Bollywood after a five-year hiatus. The actress teamed with her friends Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt in the movie Road Trip, directed by Farhan Akhtar, titled Jee Le Zara. After the movie was announced on social media by various stakeholders, Priyanka took to her Instagram to write a long note on how she finally fulfilled her dream of making an Indian movie soon.

The note reveals that it was her idea to shoot a movie based on the friendship of three women. And after she shared the idea with Alia and Katrina, they unanimously considered her friends Farhan and Zoya Akhtar to put this story on celluloid. Interestingly, when Priyanka pitched the idea to them, Farhan himself was considering developing a movie along the same lines.

PC wrote about the entire trip in the candid post,  “The idea grew into a movie helmed by an all-female cast. There are not enough Hindi movies that are female multi-starrers. This led to an impulsive phone call… to my 2 real friends about this idea that involved 3 on-screen girlfriends. A celebration of friendship we called it!!

Katrina, Alia, and I enthusiastically met in February 2020 (as seen in this picture), just before the world shut down, to discuss who we could trust to bring this vision to life for us and our choice was unanimous… Farhan and Ritesh, Zoya and Reema. We had all worked with @excelmovies and @tigerbabyfilms individually so this seemed perfect. It just so happened that Farhan was working on a female road trip movie at the same time! Talk about all the stars aligning!! (sic)”. See the full post here:

Farhan, Zoya, Reema Kagti, and the whole team are very excited about the movie. The same is reflected in his comments on Priyanka's post. While this team is associated with making films with the theme of their characters defining their true identities through a journey (talk about Dil Chahta Hai, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Dil Dhadakne Do), there has never been a movie based entirely on the girls taking the journey alone.

Apart from Priyanka, Katrina, and Alia also posted on Instagram related to their trio. See the post by Alia and Katrina.

3 girls came together with
1 dream

There was only one place to go to make that dream come true; to 4 of the funniest dream-makers and storytellers in the business 
50 Zoom calls later.
Countless laughs later.
With hearts full of love and excitement.

Here we are.
