Tom Cruise visits Indian restaurant

Hollywood star Tom Cruise's visit to an Indian restaurant in Hertfordshire, where he ordered chicken tikka masala, has been turned into a film.

The 50-year-old actor visited Veer Dhara last August while he was shooting 'All You Need Is Kill' at the Leavesden Studios.

Tom Cruise's Indian restaurant visit made into movie:

Cruise ordered lobster and chicken tikka masala when he and eight companions visited the eatery in St Albans, reported online media.

A friend settled the bill after the restaurant told Cruise it did not accept American Express.

A video about his curry night has been entered into the inaugural St Albans Film Festival's short-film competition.

"Everyone in the film is wearing a Tom Cruise mask. It's very funny," festival director Leoni Kibbey said.

Kibbey said the festival, which runs from March 8-10, showcases the county's historic links with the film industry.

Director Stanley Kubrick lived in the St Albans area, film pioneer Arthur Melbourne-Cooper was born in St Albans and the Pinewood and Elstree studios are nearby.
