About Jee Le Zaraa
The buddy road movie, set to mark Farhan’s directorial comeback after over a decade, was announced on the 20th anniversary of his 2001 directorial debut, Dil Chahta Hai. Farhan also announced Don 3 as his next project last year, featuring Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani in lead roles.
In August of last year, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar denied rumours that Jee Le Zaraa was shelved, explaining that they are simply waiting to coordinate the actors' schedules.
