The actress, 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 new show — Jeep Bollywood Trails. Zareen Khan, who will be the host of the show, 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 others were shot.
The series kicks off on January 25 with Zareen driving to Ladakh in the first episode to revisit Chail Palace, Druk School, Pangong Lake where 3 Idiots was shot. The episode will also showcase a discussion with the director of the film, Raju Hirani who talks about his early life and his love for mountains which inspired him to use Ladakh as one of the locations.
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.
Talking about the show, the actress says, “Whenever someone asked me — ‘What’s your dream?’ I did not even have to think before saying — ‘To see each and 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! I’ve always wanted to do a travel show and Jeep Bollywood Trails gave me the ideal opportunity. It has a perfect blend of both, travel and Bollywood. 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 know how film directors think of a certain location and make them part of their stories.” AXN’s Jeep Bollywood Trails will be aired every Saturday at 8 pm.
