Fans were surprised to learn that Priyanka Chopra would be joining Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt in a film. Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zara has brought together three of Bollywood’s biggest names. Priyanka Chopra has revealed why she agreed to collaborate with her rivals in the same film.

Priyanka Chopra is a well-known Hollywood actress, and her most recent Bollywood project was the 2019 film The Sky Is Pink. Priyanka said she has seen women standing up for women in both Bollywood and Hollywood.

“The three of us decided we wanted to do a movie together and partner together to produce it,” Priyanka told Deadline in an interview, referring to Katrina and Alia as “two of the top actresses in the country.” However, the concept was very different when I first started out. We were all pitted against one another, and our casting was very dependent on the movie’s lead actor, as well as who was popular at the time, which was a very unsettling feeling. It’s an insightful question because it steered my career in a very specific direction as a result of an uneasy feeling.”

“I took on many female-driven parts,” she said when asked about her secret to success in the film industry. I took on films where I was solely responsible because it was inconvenient to be the flavour of the season and then not be cast. So it defined me taking on films that didn’t always have the big male leads, and it cemented my place in the industry.”

Jee Le Zaraa is directed by Farhan Akhtar and produced by Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby, which is led by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti. Zoya, Farhan, and Reema collaborated on the script.
