Chicken curry, papad, dal tadka, gajar ka halwa....all this and more was churned out at an Indian restaurant in the heart of Istanbul to cater to Abhishek Bachchan and others shooting in Turkey's commercial capital and most important city for a B-Town film.

Imran M. Rana, the affable owner of Musafir Indian Restaurant, located in Talimhane in Taxim, says he was excited when two Indians, members of the film crew, approached him for the food meant for a 15-member team this month. They were reportedly shooting for the movie, "Dum Maro Dum". But this was not the first time Rana was taking orders for an Indian film crew.

"During the shooting of 'Guru' too, we catered for Abhishek Bachchan and the rest of the crew," Rana told a visiting IANS correspondent, referring to the 2007 film directed by Mani Ratnam. "Some of the scenes of 'Guru' were shot in Istanbul," he said.
