Scoop: Anushka Sharma REJECTS Jee Le Zaraa; Refuses To Be A REPLACEMENT Of Priyanka Chopra?

Farhan Akhtar's 'Jee Le Zaraa' is one of the most anticipated films of the year. The film, starring Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, has recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The film is being pushed for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is the cast's mismatched dates.

Priyanka Chopra reportedly pulled out of the film following a lengthy delay, and it was previously claimed that the film had been put on hold. Farhan Akhtar, who planned to make a film with three of Bollywood's leading ladies, has put the idea on hold. According to recent rumours, the director asked Anushka Sharma about taking on the lead role.

Priyanka Chopra declined to be associated with the film further in order to concentrate on her Hollywood ventures. Anushka Sharma, according to Bollywood popular news portal, declined to step into the shoes of the latter. She declined to be a part of 'Jee Le Zaraa' due to scheduling conflicts. According to reports, the 'Sui Dhaaga' actress was ecstatic at the idea of a female-led self-discovery trip.

However, shooting timetables did not align with her calendar, and she was unable to commit to the number of days requested by Farhan because of her need to manage her personal and professional lives. According to a source, the team wanted her dates to fall on the same day with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, which did not work with her schedule.

Citing casting issues Farhan Akhtar has now put the project on hold. With Aamir Khan's production, the filmmaker will now concentrate on his acting career. He'll play the lead in a remake of the Spanish sports comedy 'Campeons.' Following that, he will begin directing 'Don 3' with Ranveer Singh.

Certainly, it appears like 'Je Lee Zaraa' will not be going on floors anytime soon. Farhan Akhtar, who directed and produced 'Dil Chahta Hai' and 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara,' had intended to make 'Jee Le Zaraa' along the same fundamental plot line of a road trip excursion, but all plans fell through.

Anushka Sharma's next film appearance will be in 'Chakda Xpress.' The film is a biographical sports drama based on the life of Jhulan Goswami, a member of the Indian women's cricket squad. Anushka will play a cricketer who earned a name for herself in the gender biased politics of the male-dominated game.
