Preeti Jhangiani back to acting with Yeh Hai Mumbai

Preeti Jhangiani, is back to acting with her next film Yeh Hai Mumbai. The Mohabbatein girl, played a disastrous role as a producer for her film Sahi Dhande Galat Bande, has decided to return to acting on a fulltime basis. Yeh Hai Mumbai is basically a film that focuses more on the heroines.

Preeti Jhangiani has a very interesting role in the film. However, the details of the character were not divulged. Preeti Jhangiani had gone on a break after she gave birth to her first son. She is married to Parvin Dabas. She had a horrid time as an actress and could hardly find success on the silver screen.

That is the reason why she could have turned to becoming a producer. However, there too, she couldn’t have a better time. Finally, returning to acting was probably one of the better choices before Preeti Jhangiani.

Almost half the film is already done with and it is expected that the remaining half would be over soon.

Kunal Kohli was not able to get the due permission for shooting at the fort. So, there was no restriction on the general public there and the shooting had to be carried out as it is. As the news spread that the two Bollywood stars are shooting there, the crowd started to build up.

Shahid Kapoor had to physically guard Priyanka many times as they had to walk as many as two miles to the exact shooting location as there was no chance of getting vehicles there from the bizarre fans.
