But proof that the central cast of the film remains intact, despite recent rumours, could be seen in who Farhan tagged on the post. In addition to Excel Movies, Tiger Baby, his producing partner Ritesh Sidhwani, sister Zoya Akhtar and her producing partner Reema Kagti, Farhan also tagged Alia, Priyanka and Katrina.

Fans were overjoyed. “Can’t wait for this one,” one person wrote. “Jaldi jaldi karo Farhan,” wrote another fan. Jee Le Zaraa was announced in 2021 with a special video. But no proper updates came after that, and the film seemed stalled. During this time, Priyanka became a mother, Alia got married and also became a mom, and Katrina tied the knot as well.

Last year, Priyanka told Bollywood Hungama that she had no idea when the movie would actually enter production, but said, “I am shooting a movie with my friends, and when you do that, it’s just not work, it’s creative fun. Hopefully we shoot it next year.” This would mark her first Hindi film since 2016’s Jai Gangaajal, after which she switched base to the US and appeared in a string of American projects. Jee Le Zaraa would also mark Farhan’s first film as director since 2011’s Don 2.
