Actor Priyanka Chopra has been shooting for several Hollywood projects including Citadel and Text For You. Priyanka also has her upcoming Bollywood film Jee Le Zaraa lined up. Talking about the film, Priyanka revealed that she told the film’s director Farhan Akhtar that she ‘better be dancing in this movie.’
“End of next year I'll be filming Jee Le Zaraa with Katrina and Alia and which I'm really excited about. It's been a long time since I've spoken dialogues in Hindi or I've danced to songs. So I told Farhan (Akhtar), I said, 'I better be dancing in this movie',” Priyanka told NDTV.
Jee Le Zaraa will be directed by Farhan Akhtar and stars Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt with Priyanka Chopra. The film is co-produced by Ritesh Sidhwani (Excel Entertainment) and Tiger Baby Films owned by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti.
