Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ starring Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt was announced in 2021 and since then the film has been delayed due to date issue. But now a report says that it is because PeeCee didn’t like the script.
According to a Hindustan Times report, a source has revealed “The truth is that Priyanka Chopra did not like the script and said to no it. She was supposed to come to India for sister Parineeti Chopra’s wedding and at the same time sign the film’s contract. But things could not be taken ahead because there were creative differences.”
According to the source, the film has now gone on halt. "When a film fails to happen as per the initial plan, it takes time for the director and also to envisage a new way and decide whether he or she wants to take forward that story or not. Any which way it's a dated story now as it's already been delayed too much. It might take another two years for the film to go on floor. The makers need to ensure that the story remains relevant for that time," shares the source, adding that directors and writers like "Zoya and Farhan look into all these details."
Earlier in an interview to Variety, Akhtar had cited dates issue as the reason for delay in the movie.
