Curry Boss Raj Turns Movie Star

 

 

 

A legendary curry house boss has landed a starring role in Scotland's first Bollywood movie.

Raj Bajwe, 42, winner of BIBA Front of House Personality 2006, plays himself in Nina's Heavenly Delights, a big-budget film - starring Living Daylights and True Lies star Art Malik - about an Indian family in Glasgow.

In the movie, Raj vies with the main character, Nina Shah, - played by Shelley Conn - to win a "best of the West" curry house competition.

Raj has entertained a string of celebrities at his award-winning Cafe India in Glasgow. He said: "The star of the film is the food and everyone loves Indian food.

"I have played walk-on roles in the past but this is my biggest role to date. It's certainly harder than frying up a chicken rogan josh."

The movie - out next month - was filmed in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde.
