BOLLYWOOD Priyanka Chopra Jonas quits Jee Le Zaraa
The future of 'Jee Le Zaraa' is in doubt after Priyanka Chopra Jonas reportedly quit the film, followed by Katrina Kaif.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has reportedly quit 'Jee Le Zaraa'.
The 40-year-old actress had been due to star in Farham Akhtar's female-led road trip movie but is said to have pulled out of the project because of her commitment to Amazon Prime series 'Citadel'.
A source told Bollywood Hungama: "Priyanka had to make a choice between 'Citadel 2' and 'Jee Le Zaraa' as both the projects were expected to be shot in the same time frame. After contemplating all aspects, she picked 'Citadel 2.0' over 'Jee Le Zaraa'. "
And with reports suggesting Katrina Kaif has also quit 'Jee Le Zaraa' following the news of Priyanka's departure, it's unclear whether the movie has a future.
The insider said: "Well, it's indefinitely put on hold for now."
Priyanka recently declared she would happily give up her career entirely if her and husband Nick Jonas' daughter Malti - who was born to a surrogate in January 2022 - wanted her to do.
She told Femina: "If I were asked to give up my career and just move countries, I would do it without question for my daughter.
"I want to go back home. On time. I finish my job really quickly and then I’m home.
"That doesn’t mean I don’t love my job. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to do it with the same gusto that I did it with before. But, now I know life is equally important."
Priyanka won the Miss World pageant in 2000 - but she recently confessed to being "uncomfortable" with her appearance as a teenager.
She told the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast: "When you're younger, at least for me, at a time in my life when I was developing ... I'm from a country where there's a massive equity on light skin, everybody wants to be lighter-skinned. In the US, people are on tanning machines and tanning salons.
"For the longest time, when I was young, I didn't think my skin was pretty and that I was dark-skinned - and I'm not even that dark-skinned. But that's the normal that I grew up with."
