Priyanka Chopra Explains How Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif Joined the Cast of Jee Le Zaraa: “Have Traditionally Been Considered Secondary to Men”

Priyanka Chopra, who is one of the leading actresses of Bollywood and a global icon, recently shared fascinating details about the making of Jee Le Zaraa, a road trip film directed by Farhan Akhtar. The film, which has generated a lot of buzz for bringing together three of Bollywood’s top female stars—Priyanka Chopra herself, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif—represents a significant shift in Bollywood’s portrayal of women in cinema.

In an insightful interview, Priyanka opened up about how the trio came together for this much-anticipated film, highlighting not only the creative process behind the casting but also the larger implications the film holds for female representation in Indian cinema.

A Film About Female Friendship

Jee Le Zaraa is set to be a fresh take on the road trip genre, exploring the dynamic between three women who embark on a journey of self-discovery. Priyanka, Alia, and Katrina will play central roles in the narrative, each portraying a distinct character who reflects the diversity of women’s experiences in modern society.

Priyanka shared that the idea of working with Alia and Katrina was something she had dreamed about for a long time. “We all love Farhan’s work and his ability to create characters that feel real and relatable. When we read the script, we knew it was something special—one where women get to be the stars of the story, not just side characters.”

Challenging Traditional Norms

One of the standout elements of Jee Le Zaraa is its focus on strong, independent female characters, a rare occurrence in Bollywood where male-centric stories have traditionally dominated. Priyanka spoke candidly about how, long time, women in Bollywood have been relegated to supporting roles or have been seen as secondary to male leads, whether in terms of character depth, screen time, or overall narrative importance.

She explained, “For years, women in Bollywood have been considered secondary to men. Their roles were often to support the male protagonist, whether as love interests, daughters, or wives. But Jee Le Zaraa is about three women and their journey, and that, in itself, is revolutionary.”

Priyanka added that this project was about breaking those stereotypes. “Alia, Katrina, and I have all worked in films where we’ve had to play characters defined by their relationships with men. But this time, we wanted to show that women strong individual arcs, and support each other along the way. It’s about giving women their due.”
