Finding it difficult to rope in male leads for the Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt starrer Jee Le Zaraa, filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar had decided to cast himself as one of the leads in a bid to entice A-list male actors to sign on for the venture.
The makers of the film have now also decided to add another member to the cast, which at the same time will also help the film’s overall promotions. As per reliable sources, the makers have decided to approach none other than Vicky Kaushal to feature in the film.
Says a source, “The decision to approach Vicky Kaushal to feature in the film is pure gold. Now add to that the plan is to cast him opposite Katrina Kaif, which will make Jee Le Zaraa the first film in which the couple will feature together. This in itself is a marketing dream and makes promoting a film much easier.”
With the addition of Vicky Kaushal to the cast, the makers are left to finalize the remaining male lead cast? Explains the source, “With Farhan Akhtar casting himself and now Vicky also being roped in that leaves just one male lead role vacant. And casting one person is far easier than three, and that to in a film that is based on three female leads.”
While, our source is certain that Vicky Kushal will confirm his addition to the cast of Jee Le Zaraa, the makers of the film are yet to confirm the same. As for the film, Jee Le Zaraa, written by Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti and Farhan Akhtar, this is an attempt to see the world through the gaze of women. Said to be a road trip film that centres around three female protagonists, the movie will be directed by Farhan Akhtar himself.
