Julia Roberts shoots for 'Eat Pray, Love' near New Delhi

New Delhi, Sep 28 (ANI): Hollywood actor Julia Roberts shot for her forthcoming film 'Eat Pray, Love' in Gurgaon, on the outskirts of New Delhi on Sunday.

The film shoot is taking place at a hermitage near Gurgaon on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway 8, while some scenes will be filmed at Pataudi Palace, about 60 kilometers from Delhi, where she is staying.

Several local villagers were also called in to act in the movie. But these villagers did not have any idea about the movie nor Julia Roberts.

"We are coming for the first time and we don't have any idea of it...we are six people and we bring our goats, hen with us," said Jugni, a local.

Robert, whose production company Red Om recently signed a production deal with India's Reliance Big Entertainment, will stay in the country till the first week of October.

Directed by Ryan Murphy, the film is based on the international bestseller memoir of the same name.

The film explores a divorced woman's journey in search of restoration of her body and soul-and her quest for love.

The 42-year-old actress was last seen shooting in Italy for the film, which is expected to hit theatres in 2011. (ANI)
