While shooting Apoorva Lakhia’s film Mission Istanbul , Vivek Oberoi was surprised to see that he has fans even in Turkey.
Vivek did not confine himself to the cozy comforts for his room at the Les-Ottomans Hotel in Istanbul during the film’s shooting in Turkey. After the day’s work got over, he would often go out, explore the city, know the Turkish culture, and go to restaurants and discs. Often he would get people from the shooting unit to accompany him.
A source from the film’s unit says: “Vivek made a lot of friends in Turkey. He loved going out and meeting people.”
But what surprised the actor was that there were people in Turkey, particularly girls, who already knew him as a Bollywood star. Some were even his fans.
In one such incident a couple of girls came to the hotel to personally meet Vivek. At that time Hollywood star Kevin Costner was also staying in the same hotel, so Vivek presumed that the girls had come to see Costner. But to his utter surprise the girls told Vivek that they wanted to see him.
Not just this, during the film’s outdoor shootings, fans would often drive to the sets to see the Bollywood stars in action.
