Jee Le Zaraa, which Farhan Akhtar is set to helm, stars Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif and is one of the most-awaited Hindi films. Fans were overjoyed at the prospect of three renowned Bollywood stars collaborating on a road trip film. Priyanka Chopra recently spoke about how she agreed to collaborate with her 'competitors,' Alia and Katrina, in a recent interview.
The Dostana (2008) actress claimed that getting three great female actors in the same film would have been tough a few years ago because they would have been 'pitted' against each other.
Priyanka Chopra highlighted that the early 2000s were "dominantly patriarchal," with only one female protagonist emerging as the best. She does, however, mention that things have changed.
She said, “Whether it’s Bollywood or in America, what I have experienced is women standing up for women. I am doing a movie in India now with two of the top female actors in the country, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, and the three of us decided we wanted to do a movie together and partner together to produce it.”
“But the idea is, yes, it was very different when I started out. We were all pitted against each other, and our casting was very dependent on the lead actor of the movie, and it depends on who is the flavour at that time and that was a very unsettling feeling,” she continued.
The actress concluded by saying, "It’s a really telling question because it really gave my career a very specific direction because of a specific uncomfortable feeling. I took on many parts which were female-driven. I took on movies that were solely on my shoulders because it was very uncomfortable to have to be the flavour of the season and then not get cast. So, it defined me taking on movies that didn’t necessarily always have the big male leads and it made my career very much my own.”
Written by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, Jee Le Zaraa is set to roll soon.
