MUMBAI: Every film buff knows that a portion of Salman Khan‘s upcoming film Ek Tha Tiger was shot in Turkey.

But little does one know that an eatery in the city of Mardin in the country has been named after Bollywood‘s most happening star.

It so happened that while shooting for the film, Salman and the rest of the crew would frequent Café Del-Mar, that was close to their shooting location. After a few visits, the actor, in his bid to give the place a facelift, suggested various changes.

It is said that the star started with the décor and music and went on to the food and beverage menu. "Towards the end of our stay, Café Del-Mar was a completely new place," confirmed a source from the unit adding, "It eventually came to be known as Salman Khan Café."

"In Mardin, this café was our only hangout. The music system wasn‘t very good, so Salman sent someone to get a better one. He installed it there, played new music and soon after the shoot finished, he left the sound system there," confirmed director Kabir Khan.
