Jee Le Zaraa is a road trip film in the vein of Farhan and his sister Zoya’s previous successes like Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara. The difference here is that it is led by an all-women star cast.

The film not only brings the three leading actresses together but also marks a directorial comeback for Farhan. The last film he directed was Don 2 back in 2011. Written by Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar and Reema Kagti; Jee Le Zaraa is produced by Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani & Farhan Akhtar.
