In recent months, there has been chaos around Don 3, which started when Ranveer walked off the film, including Shah Rukh Khan’s unexpected conditions, for coming back to his original presence. Despite Shah Rukh, after the blockbuster action-packed movie Dhurandhar's success, he decided to step out due to the same back-to-back action roles. After facing so many challenges while making Don3, filmmaker Farhan Akhtar chose to move on from Don3, and make his priority “jee le zara”, which will feature stars Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhat, and Katrina Kaif.

Everyone is keen, it’s just about finding that common window,” confirmed by internal source.
"Jee Le Zaraa has always been special for Farhan. With Don 3 taking time at the casting stage, he felt this was the right moment to revive discussions with the original team and push the film forward," confirmed the source, cited by Pinkvilla.

The sources said about the “Jee le Zara” that it finished writing and confirmed the script, but the right time for the shooting, and the three ladies' suitable time to catch up with them together for the film, are the main reasons why it is getting late. “If the dates align, the film could finally go on floors in the second half of 2026. Creatively, everything is in place, and it’s now about managing schedules," said the internal source.
