Mumbai:Angelina Jolie created a commotion in India’s financial hub on Monday by jumping on a packed local train while shooting for a movie based on a book by slain Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl’s widow.
Angelina Jolie plays the part of Mariane Pearl who penned the book A Mighty Heart about the abduction and slaying of her husband in Karachi in 2002 by Islamic militants. The sultry actress Angelina Jolie, wearing a sea green T-shirt and khaki pants, bought a ticket from a south Mumbai commuter station and boarded a local train with four bodyguards, while the crew shot from outside. There was an immediate commotion inside the train compartment as one passenger shouted: “Hey Kamlesh (a friend), come quick, she’s here, she’s here”. Jolie’s bodyguards however prevented college students and eager autograph hunters from getting too close. Mumbai’s local trains, the lifeline of the crowded seaside peninsula city of 18 million, are used by nearly six million people daily. They were the target of deadly terror attacks in July this year when seven blasts ripped through the crowded compartments, killing 186 people and injuring more than 800.
Local photographers snapped pictures of Jolie early Monday morning, walking with her crew as they shot scenes of daily life at Mumbai’s tourist landmark, the Gateway of India.
The interlude was followed by a 10-minute real-life chase by newspaper photographers and paparazzi, who shadowed her on bikes and taxis.
