Julia Roberts Shoots For Her New Film In Saif’s Ancestral home


Julia Roberts visited the Taj Majal in Agra on Saturday. On Sunday she was back shooting a stone’s throw away from Saif’s ancestral home in Pataudi.

In fact for the first time the Pataudis are allowing a unit to shoot in their home.

Saif’s mom is very angry at the way her son is referred to as the “Chote Nawab’ in the media.

“Saif is a grown-up man of 36. There’s no Chote or Nawab in his personality. He wants to be known as an actor, though he comes from a royal family.”

Julia is indeed staying in Sharmila and her husband’s property. “Julia Roberts is our guest. She’s staying in a part of our property. We’ve let the unit stay in a flank, because she’s a colleague and I know what it is like to shoot far away from home.”

The Pataudi staff has been helping Julia Robert’s unit with whatever they require.

At this very moment Julia Roberts is shooting in an ashram right next to the Pataudi palace.

In fact there will be some shooting in the Pataudis home where Julia Roberts’ unit is staying.

“We’re staying in the main palace.They are staying in a separate part of the royal property known as the Nafeez Manzil. After Pataudi, they’ll be shooting in Italy and Malaysia. In the past Aamir Khan shot and stayed with us for The Rising. Deepa Mehta shot Earth in Pataudi, though that portion was edited out,” says Sharmila who is in Pataudi with the entire family for a family function.

“Tiger and I are here. He dragged us out here in this heat, much to our annoyance. Saif and my two daughters Sabah and Soha are also here for a Mewati Akikah ceremony which is a traditional Muslim mundan,” said Sharmila from Pataudi on Sunday.

Julia Roberts cooks dal and roti in Ashram


For the cinematic adaptation of American author Elizabeth Gilbert’s best selling memoir ‘Eat, Pray, Love’, actress Julia Roberts is getting to do all that Gilbert did to seek spiritual insight while on her trip to India.

Roberts, who is presently shooting the film at Ashram Harimandir hermitage in Pataudi, a few kms from Delhi, will reportedly be cooking dal and roti in one of the scenes in the film. She would also be shown mopping the Ashram floor.

But the most daunting task for Roberts is to memorize a 182-verse Sanskrit chant. Since the actress doesn’t know or understand Sanskrit, she has transliterated all the verses in English and is committing the words to her memory.

“The scenes to be shot will show Roberts chanting the verses and also meditating while being bitten by mosquitoes,” a unit source says.

The movie’s shooting began on Sunday with a hawan.

Julia Roberts is in India along with her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and son Henry.

‘Eat, Pray, Love’ is the story of an American woman who, after a failed marriage and a loveless relationship, embarks on a journey that takes through different countries and cultures. In Italy, she enjoys life (Eat). In India, she seeks spiritual rejuvenation (Pray), and in Indonesia she aims to find a balance between the two and find Love for herself. Advertisement
