Farhan Akhtar announced, striding into the production office with a triumphant smile that could rival the biggest box-office opening. He was holding his phone, which seemed to glow with the light of a thousand perfectly aligned schedules.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas, perched on the armrest of a plush sofa, immediately set down her coffee cup. “Oh, thank God. Tell me you didn’t have to sacrifice any of your own filming days, because I am not doing those stunts without enough rehearsal time,” she said, raising a skeptical eyebrow, though a hopeful smile tugged at her lips. She looked genuinely worn out from the last few weeks of juggling her international commitments.
“No major sacrifices! Just a lot of late-night calls and a frankly terrifying amount of color-coded spreadsheets,” Farhan chuckled, tapping the screen of his phone. “But yes, ladies and gentlemen, I can officially confirm: Priyanka’s dates, Alia’s dates, and Katrina’s dates are locked in. It’s a miracle of modern cinema, honestly.”
Alia Bhatt, who had been quietly going over a script, shot up, almost knocking over a pile of reference books. “Seriously? Like, really sorted? No more ‘we might need you in London on the same day you’re supposed to be in Mumbai’ phone calls?” Her relief was palpable.
The sheer amount of logistical gymnastics required to align three of the busiest actresses in the industry was legendary, and it had been the primary source of anxiety for months.
“Really, really sorted, Al. The universe has finally smiled upon Jee Le Zaraa,” Farhan confirmed, leaning against the desk. “We have a solid, contiguous block.
This means minimal disruption for all of your other projects, and crucially, we can shoot the main bulk of the road trip without having to pause for weeks waiting for someone to fly back from an overseas commitment.”
Farhan grinned. “Better than that, Kat. Your dates are sorted. Pack your bags, metaphorically speaking. We are going on this road trip, and we are sticking to the plan. It’s all systems go from November through February, with some buffer days built in.”
Katrina let out a genuinely happy sigh. “That’s honestly the best news this week. I was having nightmares about trying to film a desert sequence while simultaneously attending a wedding reception in three different cities.” She walked over and gave Farhan a light, appreciative punch on the arm. “You’re a lifesaver, Farhan. I don’t know how you pulled this off.” To know such updates, stay tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
