Mid-day recently reported that after several delays, Farhan Akhtar’s next directorial venture, Jee Le Zaraa, is set to roll in summer 2023 (Get the car out of the driveway, October 25). Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who stars in the heroine-centric road-trip movie with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt recently revealed how she initiated the talks for it. Having spent a major part of her career where female actors have always been secondary to men, she shared that it was boring to let the heroes decide where the film is shot, who is cast and what is happening. “We are living in a time where women need to be able to have agency in their lives,” said Priyanka, adding that she wanted to do a Hindi film for long, “but on the terms of women”. “I called up Alia and Katrina, this is before Farhan or anybody came [on board]. I called the girls first. My generation of female actors opened the doors for the next generation so their faces [could be on] the posters, [and are] able to sell movies. So, I wanted to bring together my friends and create a movie that will do well at the box office and be ours. The stars aligned and we decided to do it.” Yeh hui na baat!
