OlderAngelina Jolie’s Signature Smile
Angelina Jolie spoke to the media in Mumbai yesterday during a press conference to talk about her shooting experience in India for A Mighty Heart. She clarified that she and Brad Pitt have no plans to adopt an Indian baby. Read the full article after the jump but here what Angelina said on the importance of this film: “We need to tell the story of Daniel Pearl and the reason we are making this film is because it’s very important to have a dialogue between the two cultures. I have the blessings of Daniel Pearl’s family to play this role.”
UPDATE :: Added more pictures of Angelina Jolie in sandalas and carrying a brown leather bag on the set of A Mighty Heart from earlier today. Angie was spotted leaving the Anjuman-e-Islam school in Mumbai, India.
Angelina Scorches Indian Baby Rumors
It was an unusual start to an eagerly awaited press conference. Hollywood diva Angelina Jolie, who evidently kept her role as ambassador in mind at her first encounter with the Indian press on Wednesday evening, began with a confession.
“We have been avoiding the press since we landed in India, but the only reason was that we had a lot of work to do,”she said.
Jolie arrived at the conference in a white linen ensemble. Flanked by co-stars of the film, A Mighty Heart, her humble confession was followed with a terse rider: please ask questions pertaining to the film only.
The only personal query she allowed was one that enabled her to clear the air about rumours of her adopting again. No, Brangelina won’t be adding an Indian baby to their brood after all.
The evening began with the usual banter between her management team and the press. The ’screening’ of journalists took an inordinately long time, with some being asked to stay out of the conference.
For those who did eventually make it to the Princess room at the Taj, there was disappointment in store: producer Brad Pitt had decided to stay away. Was it to mind the babies? No one knows.
The actress insisted that A Mighty Heart was not about terrorism. “We need to tell the story of Daniel Pearl, and the reason we are making this film is because it is very important to have a dialogue between two cultures,”she said. “I had the blessings of Daniel Pearl’s family to play this role.”
When asked if Marianne Pearl was the most difficult character she had played in her career, the actress replied, “When you are in the middle of making a film, you always think that way.
Playing her role is certainly challenging for me, as I have to make the world understand this woman and her family.”
Jolie said that though she knew Marianne personally, she had never met anybody who had faced this kind of trauma.
“She has every reason to be embittered and angry about what happened to her husband and her, but she is very positive and has nothing against Pakistan,”she declared. Did Marianne visit the shooting or want to see rushes of the film? “She is not interested,”replied Jolie.
“She has been travelling around the world, writing on women’s issues.”
Indian actor Irrfan said that he had expected to get intimidated by the star but she went out of her way to make him comfortable.
“She has a very strong personality and it comes across,”said the actor who referred to Jolie as “Angie”during the conference.
And finally, Jolie’s take on Mumbai’s infamous suburban trains. When asked how her much-publicised ride on a local was, she replied straight-faced, “It was fun.”

these are the prettiest pictures I’ve seen of Angelina in a while.
She is so beautiful!
go AJ!!!! you rock!!!!
Jared and Audrey,
Thanks so much for being on top of all things BAMZS. Gosh, Angelina looks so lovely in these pictures. So much for those who say she never smiles. And I am glad that at least she gave one press conference clarifying all those adoption rumors.
Thanks for the new thread & pics J!! She’s gorgeous as always
I love her hair - and her new highlights. I’m starting to think she and Brad may be going to the Cruise wedding.
***** like always!
wow! she rocks! she’s so beautiful! go AJ!

You should see the splash clip—she was LOL @ that mickeyd place. I’m lovin’ it!
Morning BAMZS Fans!
This woman is gorgeous. Thanks Jared for the new thread.
She really is naturally beautiful.
Angelah,
Yes, I did see the splash clip. She was really laughing out loud and seemed to be enjoying herself. And all those people and papz outside mickey ds … it’s so unbelievable! I’m loving it too.
What I like a lot about Jolie is that she has “On” and “Off” days. She is “Off” in her private time in terms of how she dresses–I would say rather grunge looking
But when she is “On” the job, such as a press conference like this, she totally rises up to the occasion to show us what a true Hollywood starlets are supposed to look. Same goes with Brad these days and I like that a lot about both of them. But, needless to say, both Jolie-Pitt look great either “on” or “off”, without hair/makeup persons trailing behind–they don’t have a need nor necessity to hide behind a hair curtain. Oh and some so-called “starlets” do hind behind the hair curtain even they are supposed to be “On”.
This is the smile which comes from the heart!
Thank you very much Brad, you are the one of the main reasons for this smile. God bless the Jolie-Pitts.

TOMKAT’S WEDDING? Oh god, I hope they don’t go to that fiasco.
Thanks Jared for the pics. She looks happy! Angie has always had a nice smile. Have a good one, everybody.
She has lightened her her hair. It looks softer and really good.
Gorgeous…
So, r they in Italy this weekend?

Do you honestly think so? Don’t you think that TC wouldn’t like that as the papz and the tabloids would divide their focus and spotlight Brad and Angelina as much as they would the bride and groom? You know that our Brad and Ange are about the ONLY couple who could take the focus off TomKat and I don’t think Tom would like that.
Good Morning All,
She looks really young in this pix. The woman has a lovely smile, doesn’t she?
I read on the last thread that AJ was choosen Woman of the year by some magazine. Honestly, I almost fell off my chair (yeah…that’s right I said it) when I saw that. So let’s see, JA wins Man of the year for 2005 and AJ wins Woman of the year for 2006. Seriously, am I the only who sees the humor and irony in this. The jokes practically write themselves….so ib won’t even bother.
Anyhoo, there’s a report floating around about AJ’s bodyguards in a scuffle…..I’m sure it’s gonna find it’s way here soon. Something to note….”an unidentified man” tells the reporter about some racial slur one of the bodygaurds supposedly said, yet for the other accusation, they mention names. Kinda suspect if you ask me.
Thanks Jared.
I am not angie hater here just to clarify before I start on my post! But today what happened in a MUMBAI school by Jolie and her bodyguards is disgusting and disappointing to say the least. For a woman who claims to want to understand faith and culture and a rainbow family and all that jazz today was involved in an incident which proves that she can be a HYPOCRITE!!
Today her bodyguards pushed and slapped small kids and their parents as Jolie made her way to a shoot at a Mumbai school. They called the parents there who protested BLOODY INDIANS and ******* BLOODY MUSLIMS!! Now I am assuming Jolie had to be there as her bodyguards were surrounding her and must have heard that crap
What would she have done had it been Maddox or Zahara who were coming into school and say some politician was coming in and their security guards roughed up her kids? What would she do if someone called Zahara a Bloody Black? Would she just take it??????????????????? Ok its her bodyguards who did all that, but what the heck does she mean by letting them get away with it..
In India we dont have a papparazi like out there, so she must realize that you cannot abuse and treat everyone around you assuming they are that! Those parents didnt even care a damn who she was, some of them didnt even know who she was until told! It just shows she is a hypocrite to talk about a rainbow family and abuse people in another land. No one was harassing her, her security better be more careful considering even Pune was filled with such incidents…
I hope she comes out with an apology or makes them do it! U cannot insult any culture or be racist when u just quote that you are making the movie to bring about and understand different faiths! How can u just abuse people and hit small kids! I think this time Jolie and her security have gone really far! I just hope the Indian govt kicks them outa here ASAP….If she is all what she claims to be she will put an apology out to those parents and young kids…
Those ass like bodyguards need to ***********…
How wonderful to see her looking so happy and beautiful.
Beautiful Smile, Still I will be glad when they come back State Side. Hurry home BAMZS, We love you
loving the big smiles! i’d never stop smiling if i had Brad Pitt and 3 beautiful healthy kids.
thanks for the pics Jared & Audrey
She looks GORGEOUS!!!
I love that smile & laugh! I love her!!

KARISHMA , there are always two sides to a story. Maybe you should research more before you rant aganist AJ. In this story, the media caused most of the rukus.
AJ looks great and I wish her the best.
Jolie’s bodyguards beat up mediapersons in Mumbai
Mumbai, Nov 16: In yet another incident involving Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie’s bodyguards, the waiting mediapersons outside a south Mumbai school got beaten up by them on Thursday.
Jolie was shooting for her latest flick ‘A Mighty Heart’ about slain Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl’s life in the school premises when the incident happened.
Media people were outside the school, waiting for the shoot to get over and subsequently speak to the famous actress, when the bodyguards manhandled them.
It is also reported that the parents of the children studying in that school had objected to the management giving the school premises for shooting of the film.

Interesting story on Angelina…
http://janetcharltonshollywood.com/gossip/angelina_jolie/angelina_jolie_high_school_hottie_20061114.php
I love to travel but all these awful stories the Indian media put out there has soured my desire to see the country. It may be wrong to feel that way but I do. I’m just tired of them portraying Brad and Angie as monsters and when a negative story comes out its taken as truth and then plastered all over the internet, CNN, etc. A positive story only makes its way here at jj. Brad & Angie’s responses to negative stories only make it here. If this new claim is true then yes an apology should be issued but if its not true or at least not the whole story will people like Karishma come back and say he/she was wrong?
oh, now it’s gone from bloody Indians to bloody muslims to slapping children….give me a break
http://www.splash-video.com
3rd row, 2nd column… Angie @MCD
somewhere in the middle of the video, on the street, was that Brad (the one with sunglasses, brown shirt, tall)?
Thanks Jared! She looks so lovely…as usual.
African Girl, this year GQ chose Lohan as their lone woman on the list except they gave her the title of “Obsession of the Year” and she doesn’t grace the cover..thank god lol Stephen should have been on one of the covers…of course that’s just what I think.
Stardust, they have Stephen’s picture and articles on the site! He’s the 10th picture!
http://men.style.com/gq/features/slideshow/v/11072006MOTY Sadly though….KO’s isn’t up but I know that the issue is on stands now!
KARISHMA
Were you there ? It seems to me that there are twos sides to the story and we have heard one. I have noticed that the Indian press are worse than tabloids, I remember the story where Brad and Angie were being blamed for a helicopter landing, a week later it turns out they had permission to land. We do not know what is going on , but India is a mess, if they can’t handle a small film production, how do they expect to have more people go to film there, they seem to love drama. So now we have gone from Bloody Indian…to Bloody Muslims, I don’t believe this story for one minute, and you karisma are obviously not a fan of Angelina, to blame her for something she has no control over.

No they are mistaken and are talking about Chin.
Sorry for the double post
But BDJ there are tons of splashes on tv now about this! The kids are being interviewed. The paretns are being..DOnt just stick to that one article…There are no 2 sides here…The truth is right there….I know all of u ANGIE lovers wont believe it and I love her too dont get me wrong
But its a total different line when U use the words BLOODY INDIANS…U dont come to my country and be racist…U dont rant on Muslims and abuse them in a MUSLIM SCHOOL when you are shooting a movie about that…Its just sick and if U really want to know 2 sides wait until tomorrow when the print media gets the whole story out. I just watched 12 year old kids telling their story…They wont lie and so wont parents who have just been abused….I am sure her bodyguards are capable of it…
Its just HYPOCRISY if she sticks to it and terribly disappointing for an Angie fan like myself..But im sure everyone here will say its just OK u can be racist no big deal!
Well, I think BAMZS fans need to go over to Perez Hilton and give him a piece of their mind. In his latest thread he is calling Angie a ****. Where does he stand on her? I thought he liked her and hated the X. He is confusing.
Thanks Jared for the Pics. She looks so happy and genuine. I love her hair a bit lighter it softens her. Keep it up! BAMZS family.
Karishma, when big stars go outside the country to do things like movies, in the case of Brad and Angie, or Madonna’s adoption or even Tom Cruise getting married in Italy, the occasions attract a lot of people and paparrazis and there definitely will be reports of happenings like this one. Most of the reports are exaggerated in the press to cause sensation. I think Americans should be used to this type of reports now and be more logically instead of blaming people. Plus you never get to hear the bodyguards side of the story. The story also said nobody filed any complaints, this is the account of a journalist. Give it a rest.
I wish the posts here are numbered like they used to be. Reason: I’d refer to a post withouth having to refer to the poster’s name.
Without referring to the poster(s), then –
Please! Brad’s fans: Those nice smiles comes from her own personality, not from “Brad”! It’s mooshy to always drag him in when looking at her. I’m glad “Brad” was not at the press conference (Thank God!) even though those journalists were disappointed.
Her hair always looks good and extremely natural.
maniston I would apologise because i am her fan and I so hope so…
U dont want to come here who cares, its ur choice
@sad
I am her fan BTW and no i wasnt there but i dont think those kids being interviewed were lying…And no she has no control over those racist remarks but she has a control over those rambo boys of hers and tell them to just SHUT up! dsnt she?
Like I said no one will feel anything is wrong here, which is sad considering racism needs to not be tolerated!

I think that was the bodyguard.
As I’m fearing, I think Perez is getting bought by Huvane who might be offering him some connections. He is using CCox to “approach” him. While ago, he also did some very odd “pro” X items and then stopped. It obviously looked like Huvane called in for some favor and Perez had to do it.
Karishma, you say you are a fan, I’m just noticing your post for the first time on this thread. Where have you been when Aniston’s fans have been using racial slurs on Brad and Angie’s children? I never read your post being angry about that, now you are angry over what some journalist wrote that you are not sure of ? Give us a break!!!
Good Morning all.

I have Deja Vu. That photo of Angelina on the cover of Maxim is an old one. It’s “done the rounds”. She’s looking good if not “very maxim” on that cover.
Whoeve said that local production liasons in countries are resposible for any local shoots is correct. The failure of the local liaisons, who know local customs, protocol and the nature of day to day life has been magnified in this production. I don’t think it would have been like this in Pakistan. Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, South Africa, etc…all seem to have their ish together as far as film production. Anyhow, this incident will be seen for what it really was. Overblown like the other “incidents” reported with inaccuracies in the Indian tabloids and a failure of local productions teams.
Thanks to Tres Jolie of the fabulous photos of Angelina. Her natural hair color is growing in and looks more flattering than the goth black that she loves. She looks like a teenager!
Thanks JJ for a new thread.
Have a good day everyone.

You got that right. It is my choice.
Lets play devil’s advocate. Lets say the bodyguards pushed children and mothers around and called them racist names. How does that make Angie a hypocrite? How does that make Angie a racist? Have any of the children or parents accused Angie of doing these things?
Jared your threads are always so entertaining to read, I’m not a fan of no one. So I wonder if you did some kind of casting call for all the Brangelina worshippers. It amuses me to read how many here worship a couple they have never met and don’t know personaly. It’s almost too scary!! I like Angie but reading comments from these crazy posters make her stories always seem weird. Get a life or an education people, if you where to tell those around you what stupid comments you post I’m sure they will think ya’ll are crazy. Brangelina’s fans are crazier than Tom himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanx for the link Iloved it specially Sir Hotness outside in the midst of the fans, probably signing autograph, congenial as always. He could’ve stayed in the car. Hardly the kind of people that would tolerate the abuse of women and children.
*sigh*
ann, you don’t have to read. Make you days better doing something else instead of complaining.
So great to see Angie smiling again! It’s been awhile since i see her this carefree. Love love her! =)
tabloids,
You just beat me to it. I had typed something similar to what you posted (re Karishma claiming to be a fan of Angie’s, yet this is the first time I’ve seen her post) and yet she was willing to hang her despite the fact that the story has yet to be proven true? Demanding an apology when we don’t know yet what the real story is! And even though there were interviews, who knows if those interviews have not been slanted or biased or even just hearsay. You know how people can get excited over being interviewed by the meida and just say anything that they have been prompted to say!
I love Angie! Her straightforwardness and genuine personality certainly shine through… I would love for Ange and Brad to attend TomKats wedding- Love to see Brangelina steal TonKat’s thunder… especially when Ange shows up looking more beautiful/gorgeous than the stepford bride! ( and every other female celeb in attendance!)
bless you jared! there is a special place in BAMZS heaven reserved only for you and audrey
it should be a crime to be as lovely as angelina. oh wait, it kinda is considering the crap she has to endure from the media on a daily basis. i wouldn’t blame the jolie-pitts if they bought their own island and stationed battleships around it to keep the riff raff papparrazzi out. but, it’s a pretty safe bet that won’t happen. until then they’ll have to live with being blamed for every incident within 20 miles of them until the world gets bored of using their names for publicity.
@tabloids
I dont post here always coz its weird to react to all that crap they dish out in here..Whoever hates whoever…This time I commented coz being an Angie fan it was extremely disappointing that it came from her camp…Thats all….As far as reacting to aniston fans its not worth it, it just shows how sick they are!
@ maniston…
What she can do? Ask those morons to apologise…Like I said I didnt say she did it but she can ask them to stop it or apologise to those parents right?
Well thats my last post in here, I dont think I am gng to say anything more on this for I know people are ok if someone abuses another country or another faith…But jst being her fan and being a part of the culture that was exposed to it today I am really disappointed..
Oh yeah and Im sorry all of you in here are right and true angie fans!!
Sorry to have written anything at all……..
truth, Truth is what I said. Some of you sound like you where just released from a mental Hospital, and all you had in there was Brangelina news. I like this family but the crazy obsession should be left to the psychopaths!
Yeeeeah “my” Angie is back.
She looks so fresh, so young, so sweet.
Remeber Perez is gay so “s l u t”, as he calls Angelina, is a term of endearment. LOL!! He lovers her. I wonder where Angelina rates in the gay world. Hmmm…I’m gonna do some asking around.
BBL
Hi people!!!
She looks so happy and I’m happy for her.
Do you think eating @ McDo made her smile like that?!!! hahaha just kidding!
Thanks Jared!
Perez is not a hater.
Good morning everyone! Thank you Jared and Audrey for the new thread! Angie looks great! Love to see her smile but I’m sure she does that a lot at home! hehehe. I love how Brad stays away so she could have her space like that. I love this couple. They support each other but not in your face kind of way. I think they might be going to the wedding after all. Oprah didn’t get invited. I wonder if that is because they are going? What do you guys and gals think? Have a great day everyone!
was lurkig on Men’s Style forums and I found this great post re Jennifer Aniston’s Man of the Year GQ cover. I’ve always wanted a guy’s perspective on JA, and I think this sums it up:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ok. I’m a guy, you know, the base audiance of this magazine. I have to tell you Jennifer Aniston ain’t my idea of a woman with grace or whatever lame thing you gave her. She had one tired joke-”billy idol wants his hair back”, he’s -brad- is missing a “sensitivity chip.” That’s all. That was a sense of humor? Please, this is lame guys. Can’t anyone tell the difference between a bitter shot and a joke? You can do better than this. Is this Cosmo or GQ.? Leave this pitty party stuff to the ladies to fawn over and obssess about. Let them have their mags with the stupid and airheaded “you go jen ref.s’” In the future please spair us the women gossip-touchy feely ****. Do us that one tiny favor.
Don’t get me wrong. I ain’t mad at seeing a naked chick on a cover-little boney for my tastes but whatever-nice breast shot-wonder if they are real, like that matters
The problem I have is she isn’t different from any body else, so why all the fuss? She got a legal separation from pretty boy Brad-her choice. She filed for divorce-again her choice. She wollowed in pitty-her choice. She obsessed over her body-her choice. And she gave a lame interview where she and her sorority sisters slamed Brad. Which by the way was so freakin’ funny considering that I don’t think those chicks where in the bed with them when the lights went out-unless they were into that kind of thing-which is much more interesting to read about then this
Such a shame home girl wants to play the victim. Gotta say men do not find desperation attractive-unless we are in a club looking to score-oh, almost forgot, way to go VINCE V!. Rebound sex is the best sex you can have brother.
No one is reading this stuff, watching her on tv shows to see her doing well, they want to hear her gab on about her failed relationship. That’s all. She has nothing to offer them. Not that she’s not talented. It’s just that for now all she is to the world at large is a joke. A person to pitty till we are all blue in the face. You guys could have done better in getting a real choice for this title. She is no victim and she is no role model either.
If I had a choice, shame I don’t, I would have picked Angelina Jolie. Why? well isn’t it obvious? Hot ass woman that loves to help others and not wine like a baby about define me and oh don’t take my picture. I love a woman that knows when to speak and when to shut up. Jenn A. should take a page from her. News yrs resolution for her should be: “I must learn to be quite and stop boring people with my pitty part/moving on talk”
But hey, only one guys opinion, not like I help keep this mag. afloat with a subscription, oh wait I do.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
People who claim to be fans sure do jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts. They then proceed to go on a rant against AJ and bring up her children without knowing all the facts. Then you have others who come here and think they are above people who are fans and act all superior. They pretend that they just happen to find this site and wanted to check out all the fanatics. Whatever. I am a fan of AJ. I think that she is a good person and has a good heart. I support her in this Movie role and hope that they complete filming without any further incident.

So first you blame her. See below:
But today what happened in a MUMBAI school by Jolie and her bodyguards is disgusting and disappointing to say the least. For a woman who claims to want to understand faith and culture and a rainbow family and all that jazz today was involved in an incident which proves that she can be a HYPOCRITE!!
Then you say the blame falls on her bodyguards. See below:
Ok its her bodyguards who did all that, but what the heck does she mean by letting them get away with it..
Then you say she should apologise. See below.
Ask those morons to apologise…Like I said I didnt say she did it but she can ask them to stop it or apologise to those parents right?
So again, lets play devil’s advocate and say Angie’s bodyguards roughed up women and children. In your view Angie’s a hypocrite because she hasn’t apologized yet? So if she apologizes today or even tomorrow, she is no longer a hypocrite?
And for the record, I don’t think you’re a hater. I’m just trying to understand your logic.

Dont lie about your living in India. You are definitely not living nor growing up in India. I grew up in British Hong Kong. I can definitely recognize the language of British writing. You are out to defame Jolie.
Please read the following excerpts from cnn.com . The article clearly pointed out only 2 fathers complained. Note only 2. There will always be people who complain in anything. This is life. The most important thing is do NOT blow it out of proportion. Read the following excerpt from cnn.com :—-
“Unfortunately, our arrival was impeded by the paparazzi waiting at the gates of the school. When the gates were opened to allow the parents in to collect their children, the paparazzi rushed the school causing confusion.”
Police said no one had complained about the incident so far.
“If we get a complaint we will take suitable action,” police officer Brajesh Singh told Reuters.
Jennifer Aniston is the Queen of all Frauds, definitely NOT the girl next door unless you live in a $7 million mansion with another $10 million in upgrades, there is no friggin’ way Mrs. Pitt is gonna get Friend-ly with you.
Karishma -
I can understand your perspective and do believe if what was reported to have happened is true, the security should certainly be reprimanded/fired and apologize for their actions. That being said, it appears that in the mix of what happened there were also razzi’s and journalists that were not there to do anything but get a picture or story to sell to the tabloids. I think the ‘other’ side of the story some are alluding to is what part they played in causing the disruption that occurred. It states in the article that when the gate opened these reporters and razzi’s rushed the gate along with the parents. The issue I have is why would this school allow permission to shoot scenes for this movie when classes were in session? If the kids hadn’t been there, this incident could have been avoided. Hopefully, if complaints are filed the truth will be dicovered on all counts and necessary action can be taken.
I’m bringing these two posts form the last thread here because I think some will read only the bad accounts without getting a bit of others who’ve worked in India’s opinion too.

Good Morning all.
I have Deja Vu. That photo of Angelina on the cover of Maxim is an old one. It’s “done the rounds”. She’s looking goo if not “very maxim” on that cover.
Whoeve said that local production liasons in countries are resposible for any local shoots is correct. The failure of the local liaisons, who know local customs, protocol and the nature of day to day life has been magnified in this production. I don’t think it would have been like this in Pakistan. Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, South Africa, etc…all seem to have their ish together as far as film production. Anyhow, this incident will be seen for what it really was. Overblown like the other “incidents” reported with inaccuracies in the Indian tabloids and a failure of local productions teams.
Thanks to Tres Jolie of the fabulous photos of Angelina. Her natural hair color is growing in and looks more flattering than the goth black that she loves. She looks like a teenager!
Have a good day everyone.
Thanks Jared & Audrey Says:

As the names of Jolie & Pitt raised the profile of this film shoot, I wonder how other producers in Hollywood will now look at India.
I read before that Bollywood is keen on attracting Hollywood to shoot movies in India, but the news from the AMH shoot seems not be positive. Will the money savings justify the aggravation that the actors and crew have to go through?
^^
Lurking here a few mths back somebody put up this article about filming there and Im so happy it got saved.
Passage India rough for foreign filmmakers
Bharti Dubey
[ 23 Oct, 2006 0057hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
MUMBAI: Two road accidents, numerous fisticuffs and schedules gone awry. These jottings in the Brangelina tour diary of Pune’s heat and dust say it all. Will the reel-life Mr and Mrs Smith ever return to India to shoot a film?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may have realised by now why veteran Hollywood director Oliver Stone didn’t shoot his controversial movie ‘Alexander’ in India, despite his much-publicised reconnaissance trip.
They may even sympathise with the British crew who were not on talking terms with their Indian counterparts towards the completion of the Oscar-winner ‘Gandhi’ almost three decades back.
The truth is that Bollywood’s countryside is different from Planet Hollywood. Here, postponements are nothing out of the ordinary and laptops are alien to film sets. In contrast, Hollywood teams stick to schedules and juggle their production needs with computers. Stone flew out the moment he hit Indian red tape.
Worst, say actors who have been part of western filmmaking, there is a tendency to make a quick buck from unsuspecting foreign crews. When Hollywood actor Matt Damon and the ‘Bourne Identity’ crew came down for a shoot in Goa, they overshot the estimated budget by almost a double. Bollywood lore has it that room rates were overstated and so were local manpower costs. Hollywood teams depend on desi line producers, who keep accounts on paper unlike their Hollwood counterparts. Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’, too, had gone over budget.
Recalls a unit member of the film, “The total budget allotted that time was Rs 6.5 crore, but the amount was exhausted in making half the film.” Thankfully, the government of the day backed the project and the film was completed.
In hindsight, the unit member feels the British crew didn’t understand the Indian crew’s way of functioning, leading to costs spiralling. “But there is no denying the tension between the British and Indians. More often than not, they didn’t communicate with each other, which again affected the film,” he insists.
Twenty-four years later, the storyline is the same. The Indian line producers are still not able to handle the budgets allotted to them. Not surprisingly then, the Hollywood production ‘Marigold’, which boasts of an Indian star, has gone over budget.
India’s greatest defeat in this regard has been its failure to come up with efficient service providers a concept that has made countries like Thailand and South Korea a favourite with Hollywood. Service providers are literally people who hold the foreign crew’s hand through local paperwork and jargon.
In the absence of such professionals, Hollywood crew depend on word-of-mouth recommendations. The reccomendations are not always apt. Says Udayshankar Pani, who has worked for ‘Gandhi’ and has been a line producer for many German films shot in India, “There are not enough service providers and Indian film schools don’t treat production as a serious subject.”
Gulshan Grover, who has worked in many Hollywood films, feels both sides are to be blamed for the communication gap. He says, “We have some of the most talented guys who are good at multi-tasking despite the poor infrastructure, but a few among us have the habit of getting more out of the dollar-spending guys.
The foreign crew, too, have to shoulder a bit of the blame. They treat us very badly and behave as if they are doing us a favour.” German filmmakers like Michael Enke confess that though their companies are ready to invest in India, many are put off by their previous experiences.
Enke was helped by Pani for his film, but says that many other filmmakers are at the mercy of tour operators who double up as service providers. Hollywood’s favourite locales Goa, Kerala, Ladakh and Rajasthan in fact, have many such tourist operators doubling as service providers and making a hash of the job.
Says Dilip Borkar, who has been a service provider for Indian and foreign film units for 15 years, “Most often these so-called service providers fleece the foreign producers who are ignorant about India. The stories float around and international film producers prefer not to return because of the negative stories.”
But Arjun Bagga of Nora Films, who was the production manager for Omar Sharif’s ‘One Night With The King’, refuses to take a dim view of things. He feels we need to start by clearly revealing the ground realities of our country.
“For instance, it takes four days to get equipment cleared from the customs. If the foreign crew is informed about this and organises itself accordingly, lot of heartburn will be avoided,” Bagga adds.

Frenchy,ITA.Gay men use the word sl#t all of the time as a term of endearment.(I have a gay friend I have known since hs.)Perez is not a hater,so calm down people!I really hope B&A leave India soon,the media there is getting to be a bit much.Karishma you have a right to your own opinion ,but keep one thing in mind.Most of the stories the media have been reporting on the so-called incidents reguarding B&A have been greatly embellished.I for one will not form a opinion on the situation until all sides of the story have been told.
@Karishma
you are a hypocrite. a disciple of Jennifer Aniston.
go back and worship Aniston.
go worship Aniston. she needs you.
I’d think the mere fact that AJ has shown time and time again that race and Religion is not an issue with her, would at least give her the benefit of the doubt. Short of being telepathic and knowing exactly what her bodygaurds are going to say before they say it….there is NO WAY she could have controlled this. These men work for her….their personal opinions do not reflect hers. Let’s try to be rational for a sec….the woman was probably in the car, so she most likely didn’t hear what is been said and it’s very hard for me to where people are coming from with their rants about Hypocrisy.
Karishma, if it happened like you said, then of course it’s racism but what we won’t agree on is your quest to put the blame on AJ.
She looks so beautiful with her new highlights.
****from cnn.com**********
********Police said no one had complained about the incident so far.
“If we get a complaint we will take suitable action,” police officer Brajesh Singh told Reuters. ****************
With all the crap that Angie has to go through with the press to portray MP, I sure hope no one else will come here and tell us how another actress would have been more perfect for this role.
has anyone bothered to count how many stories have come out of india regarding the jolie-pitts that have been revised, recanted, retracted, refuted and rubbished within days/hours of of being reported? it makes the head spin.

When are they coming back home? How much longer will they stay in India?

@nonameposter
You dont have to MAKE Angelina happy. She IS happy. She WAS happy.
Befor she met Brad.
This is the way I like to see Angelina. She’s a natural beauty, but when she’s dressed up, she’s out of this world.
People like Beatrice make me HATE Angelina Jolie.
well Angelina isn’t single with just Maddox anymore. She is Mother of three and a Lover of Brad.. You you losers better get used to it.
Jared, thank you for the new pictures.I hope the next ones posted will be B&A boarding a plane leaving India.
What the ****’s your point Beatrice? Brad was happy before he met your precious Angelina too.

She let him shoot his sperm inside her & had his child.
Deal with it Beatrice! Accept reality, and DEAL WITH IT!
Hey Beatrice, Angelinas HATES you. She doesn’t want the support of people like you. She’d have Mickey kick your ass if she read the CRAP that you write.
I take everything read on the web witha grain of salt. However, since the production company felt it necessary to comment, obviously something negative did happen at the school. It’s unforunate that she will be blamed for this incident.
You are stupid.
been reading here a while, I never noticed, are there “teams” here too? Angie vs Brad? what is that all about? *disapointed sigh*. Brad smiled before as did Angie, it’s just that they have a lot more to smile about these days
