Indian actress and global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas is making a return to Bollywood movies with "Jee Le Zaraa".

The movie also stars Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif and serves as a comeback for filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar, who hasn’t directed a movie since 2011’s "Don 2".

"Jee Le Zaraa" Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani is co-producing under their Excel Entertainment banner alongside his sister Zoya Akhtar’s Tiger Baby Films. He will also co-write the script with Zoya and her longtime creative collaborator Reema Kagti.

Chopra Jonas announced Tuesday the news on Instagram and noted that the movie is dedicated to “sisterhood”.

The actress also shared how she came together with Bhatt and Kaif for their new movie.

“Katrina, Alia, and I enthusiastically met in February 2020 (as seen in this picture), just before the world shut down, to discuss who we could trust to bring this vision to life for us and our choice was unanimous… Farhan and Ritesh, Zoya and Reema. We had all worked with Excel and Tiger Baby Films inpidually so this seemed perfect," Chopra Jonas stated.

"It just so happened that Farhan was working on a female road trip movie at the same time! Talk about all the stars aligning! And here we are today… Jee Le Zaraa… it only took 3 years to align all our schedules but we stuck together and got it done!” she added.
