Here’s why a James Bond actor was spotted at a Leeds restaurant 🎥
Film crews have been spotted at a restaurant in Leeds city centre on Tuesday (May 26) as they film scenes for a new TV show starring a James Bond star.
The filming started taking place at Kerala Canteen on St Peter’s Street at 6:30am and is expected to continue until at least 7pm in the evening.
The TV show which is set to come out next year stars Olivier Award-winning actor Rory Kinnear, who is known for his role as Bill Tanner in the four most recent James Bond movies.
All other details regarding the new TV show are currently confidential.
Bobby Geetha, owner of Kerala Canteen, explained how the filming opportunity arose by chance.
“A few of the crew members had already dined with us and they loved their food and ambiance and everything so they put it across the production company and there you go,” Bobby told the Yorkshire Evening Post.
“It is such a unique opportunity.”
Even more special is the fact that the scenes filmed in Kerala Canteen feature actors eating dishes on the Indian restaurant’s menu including the paneer and peas masala and the Mini Thali curry.
Bobby said: “We are grateful for the celebrity attention we are getting due to our different and unique food.”
Filming is set to only take place over one day, but it has caused great excitement at Kerala Canteen.
Bobby joked: “There’s security guards everywhere which is quite different - even we need permission to go inside.”
