Fans of Farhan Akhtar have a reason to rejoice as he will be back in the director’s seat for Jee Le Zaraa. His production banner, Excel Entertainment on Tuesday made an announcement of a film revolving around a road trip. It will be headlined by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. All the female leads were elated to share this news but little did we know it was Alia who initially got this idea way back in 2015. She had expressed her wish to star in the sequel of Dil Chahta Hai.
During her interview with Hindustan, the talented actress while promoting Shaandaar, wished someday she stars in a sequel of Dil Chahta Hai. Joining her would be Parineeti Chopra and Shraddha Kapoor. She had said, “Pari (Parineeti), Shraddha and I should work in the sequel to Dil Chahta Hai (2001) as three friends. I think that’s a superb idea. It will be so much fun. Should I call Farhan regarding the film, and make it happen.” Followed by Farhan being told about Alia’s idea in another interview with the publication, he had laughed off. But only to consider it.
He was quoted saying, “Through you guys, I got to know that Alia wants to do a DCH part 2 with Shraddha and Parineeti. That (thought) stayed in my head, and I am thinking about it very strongly, but this time with three girls (as the protagonists). We will see how it goes.”
Farhan and Alia, as they met during the screening of Kapoor & Sons, discussed it, the former left Alia surprised as he shared her opinion. “I met her at the Kapoor & Sons screening. After the screening, I told her, ‘Alia, I guess you told someone that there should be a Dil Chahta Hai part two with three girls, and I wanted to tell you that I may be considering it.’ And she was like, ‘Oh, really?’ And I said, ‘Yes, and you will love it when you watch it (laughs).’ She was like, ‘How sick! How mean!,’” he added. ALSO READ: Jee Le Zaraa: Farhan Akhtar Yet Again Takes Reference From His Previous Film’s Song For The Title Of Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif And Alia Bhatt-Starrer
