In a first for
Bollywood, Keshhav Panneriy’s upcoming family entertainer ‘Jeena Isi ka Naam
Hai’ becomes the first film to shoot at White House (Washington DC). The high
point of the shoot was filming inside the Constitutional Hall of the White
House.
The
Constitutional Hall is sandwiched between the George Washington Memorial and
the Vice President Joe Biden’s residence, the sprawling white-marbled ballroom
was lit up for the first time for a Hindi film sequence. Talking about the same
director Keshhav said, “It took us almost a year to get permission. I applied
more than 15 times before we were allowed, only because some of my line
producers are Americans.”

The film has
been shot West Virginia, New York City, Washington and Maryland in US and in
Rajasthan, Udaipur, and Mumbai in India. Produced by Purnima Mead of Bibia
Films, the film is directed by Keshhav Panneriy which also marks his
directorial debut. Starring Arbaaz Khan, Ashutosh Rana, Prem Chopra, Supriya
Pathak, Manjari Fadnis and Himansh Kohli, ‘Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai’ is slated to
release in January 2017.
