Farhan Aktar talks about Jee Le Zaraa
Earlier, there were rumours about Jee Le Zaraa being shelved due to scheduling issues. However, Farhan shared an update on the film and said, “I would hate to say that it’s shelved. What I will say is that it has been put on the back burner. It is a film that will happen. Again, I don’t know when it will be. But it’s too delicious a script and there’s so much work that has already been done on it.”
Farhan further hinted that the original cast may no longer be locked and said, “I have finished all location scouts, recorded music for the film. So it’s just a matter of time that we come back and do it again. I can’t comment on the cast anymore, like what that will be and when that will land. But will the film happen? Ya, it will.”
In 2024, while speaking to Lallantop, Alia Bhatt also talked about Jee Le Zaraa and said, “Logistically, kaafi difficult ho raha tha to get all the dates together but I think agar sabke zehan mein hai aur intent mein hain 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 the film has to be made).”
