Bollywood diva Zareen Khan who has films like Veer, Housefull 2, Hate
Story 3, 1921 to her credit is all set to take over the small screen
and be in the driving seat of all the action in AXN’s all new show –
Jeep Bollywood Trails. The actress cum host will travel across the
length and breadth of our country in a Jeep revisiting the exact
locations where iconic films like 3 Idiots, Jab We Met, Dhadak and
more were shot.
The series kicks off on 25th January with Zareen driving to Ladakh in
the first episode to revisit Chail Palace, Druk School, Pangong Lake
where popular Bollywood movie ‘3 Idiots’ was extensively shot. The
episode will also showcase a discussion with the director of the film
i.e Raju Hirani who talks about his early life and his love for
mountains which inspired him to use Ladakh as one of the locations for
3 Idiots.
The other locations and directors covered in the series are Manali for
Jab We Met featuring Imtiaz Ali, Shimla for Bang Bang featuring
Siddharth Anand, Varanasi for Raanjhanaa featuring Anand L Rai and
Udaipur for Dhadak featuring Shashank Khaitan. Taking inspiration from
the rich history, culture, people and natural landscapes, these
Bollywood directors have made each destination worth a visit, giving
an identity to the city.
Confirming the news, Zareen Khan said, “Whenever someone asked me –
‘What’s your dream?’ I did not even have to think before saying – ‘To
see each & every corner of this big beautiful world’. For those of you
who don’t know much about me , I am quite a traveller, a Happy Hippie!
If you have a look at my social media , it’s more about travel than
anything else. Travelling has always been my passion and also an
integral part of my profession, lovingly known as Bollywood. I’ve
always wanted to do a travel show & Jeep gave me the ideal opportunity
to be part of a show which has a perfect blend of both, Travel &
Bollywood & I consider myself truly lucky because I couldn’t have
asked for a better show as my TV debut or a better companion than Jeep
for my journey. I saw India through the eyes of Bollywood’s biggest
directors. The culture, food and scenic locations, not only inspired
me but also taught me so much more about India. AXN’s ‘Jeep Bollywood
Trails’ is an actor’s dream to relive the iconic locations featured in
blockbuster films and it’s a delight for the audience to see how film
directors think of a certain location and make them part of their
stories. It’s exciting for me to weave together these stories for the
audience in a never been seen before way.”
AXN’s Jeep Bollywood Trails will make you relive your favourite
movies; one fascinating city at a time, every Saturday at 8PM.
