Julia Roberts shooting her new film ‘Eat, Pray, Love’, in India

Crew members get busy on the set of the new Julia Roberts film ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ inside the the Hari Mandir Ashram in Pataudi. Roberts was dressed in a turquoise blue tunic and loose pajamas, the traditional clothes worn by millions of Indian women. In the film, she plays the part of an American woman who leaves behind a troubled marriage and sets out on a journey of self-discovery. The Hollywood star is said to have renamed her three children after Hindu deities after falling in love with the spiritual country. Four-year-old twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter have been given the names of Mahalaxmi and Krishna, while youngest son Henry Daniel Moder, two, has been called Ganesha. Scores of policemen, armed with bamboo sticks, private guards and plainclothes security guards kept curious visitors at bay as the ‘Pretty Woman’ star walked about the sets created at Mirzapur village, 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of the Indian capital, New Delhi. Huge black screens protected the sets from television crews and photographers. The movie, a Brad Pitt production, is directed by Ryan Murphy. It also stars Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, Viola Davis, Richard Jenkins and Billy Crudup.
