Karan Johar eyeing the White House for My Name is Khan

Spicezee Bureau

Mumbai, Aug 14: Karan Johar is known for his lavish taste and glitzy, exotic shooting locations, but now the director is eyeing one such location that is sure to beat any fancy setting experimented till date. The young director has his heart set on the White House, the residence of the US President for his next directorial venture � My Name is Khan�, starring golden couple Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

Yes, you got that right! Karan Johar surely has a taste that is one of it�s kind. The director was recently in US doing some location shopping and it�s being reported that he even applied for a permission to shoot in the White House.

So care to guess why KJo is smitten by the White House?

Apparently, the attraction is not with the White House but offering something novel in his movie. After Snoop Dog singing to the Punjabi beats in �Singh Is Kinng� and Sylvester Stallone coming in Sajid Nadiadwala flick �Kambakht Ishq�, Karan is doing what it takes to stand out in the crowd.

Speaking to a news daily, the director said, "I'm currently working on pre-production. The story of my film takes the lead actors from San Francisco to LA and eventually to Washington DC. I am trying to figure out permissions including locations in and around Washington. I still have a lot of time till I achieve these permissions as I only start the shoot of the movie from February next year."

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
