Leopold becoming legendary tourist spot in Mumbai

After being the center of several scenes for the novel Shantaram, the Lepold is becoming a popular tourist spot in Bombay.

“We have busloads of foreigners coming in ever since the place has had a mention in the book,” says Farhang Jehani, a partner of the bar, “This place has become a world-famous landmark in Mumbai.”

The owners are still unsure if the movie will actually be filmed within the bar itself.

Either way the bar is set to build a cult status.
