Shooting in exotic locations is nothing new for Bollywood. In fact, the style now is naming the film after the locale!
Here's a look at the movies that did just that.
Mission Istanbul
Director: Apoorva Lakhia
Cast: Vivek Oberoi, Shriya Saran, Zayed Khan, Suniel Shetty, Shabbir Ahluwalia
Mission Istanbul tells the story of an ambitious Indian television journalist (Zayed). While his career flourishes, his personal life isn't that hunky dory. At this point, he gets an offer from a Turkey-based company to head an Indian bureau.
Things get messy very soon, and we get to meet Abu Nazir, a character apparently based on Osama Bin Laden, Indian politician Omar Abdullah (who appears as himself in the film) and a dead ringer for George Bush.
And to ensure you don't get bored with all the fighting, Abhishek Bachchan appears in an item number along with Kareena Kapoor!
