Why is ZNMD reunion making headlines? 

The post came amid the rumours of Farhan’s next directorial, Jee Le Zaraa, getting further delayed. The slice-of-life movie was set to depict the journey of three girls on a road trip featuring Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles. However, according to reports, two out of the three actors have now dropped out of the film.

Initially, there were numerous delays throughout the film's production, which reportedly prompted Farhan to put Jee Le Zaraa on the back burner in favour of other endeavors. It was said that the actresses' hectic schedules conflicted with the film's shooting timetable.

Recently, a media report stated that Priyanka wanted to start filming the movie in 2024 but since Alia had already committed to filming for Ramayana and Baiju Bawra, this schedule did not work for her. It is rumoured that both Priyanka and Katrina have chosen to leave Jee Le Zaraa as a result of these scheduling issues and delays. Following reports of the two lead actresses leaving the film, social media users and news outlets immediately speculated on who might step in to play their roles.
