London, April 9 : Russell Crowe reportedly turned down the option of having posh hotel cuisine in favour of a local curry house in Surrey.

The `Beautiful Mind' star was said to have visited the Mogul, in Bagshot, siz times in two weeks while staying at plush Pennyhill Park Hotel.

"He prefers a chicken tikka massala to the Michelin-star food at the hotel," the Sun quoted his fellow guest as saying.

The actor was further alleged to have ditched the hotel's luxury gym and spa to hit the local Fitness First.

He has been filming for the new version of `Robin Hood', co-starring Cate Blanchett and Vanessa Redgrave. (ANI)
