Priyanka Chopra Jonas, last seen in the Hindi film The Sky Is Pink in 2019, has been busy making waves internationally with projects like the spy thriller series Citadel, Heads Of State and more.

In a recent interaction, Priyanka revealed that she’s been actively engaging with filmmakers in India and reading scripts in search of the right Hindi project. Although she remained tight-lipped about specifics, she shared that she has something exciting lined up and hopes to announce it soon. Naturally, speculation has reignited around Jee Le Zaraa, the much-anticipated road trip film announced in 2021. Starring Priyanka, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, the film generated significant buzz when it was first unveiled but has faced multiple delays. The project, to be directed by Farhan Akhtar under the Excel Entertainment banner, was envisioned as a celebration of female camaraderie, akin to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
However, aligning the schedules of its star-studded cast has proven to be a significant hurdle. Earlier this year, producer Zoya Akhtar confirmed that the film’s delay stemmed from challenges in coordinating the availability of Priyanka, Katrina, Alia, and Farhan. Given their packed calendars with both Bollywood and international commitments, finding a mutually agreeable timeframe remains a work in progress.
Meanwhile, Priyanka has been enjoying some downtime after wrapping up the second season of Citadel. Her schedule has been packed with global projects and personal commitments, but her recent statements have reignited hope among fans that she’ll soon grace the Hindi film industry again.
Whether Jee Le Zaraa finally gets rolling or Priyanka chooses another Bollywood project to mark her return, one thing is certain: her comeback is eagerly awaited.
