Jolie-Pitts In India

Angelina, Maddox and Brad in Indiahere's never a dull moment in the lives of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - and their brood of kids.

This time, the Jolie-Pitts are in India.

They're in the Indian city of Pune, where Angelina is filming scenes for her new movie, A Mighty Heart - about the life of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl.

Brad's production company, Plan B, is behind the film - and it was thought the role of Daniel's wife, Mariane, was originally meant for Jennifer Aniston.

But ever the ambassador, Angelina has spoken about her happiness at being in India with her family:

"We deeply appreciate the warm welcome we have received from the people of Pune, India, where we are filming A Mighty Heart," Angelina told People magazine in a statement.

"We are excited to have this chance for our children to learn about India's wonderful culture and history."

The story is meant to be set in Pakistan, where Daniel Pearl was abducted and murdered in 2002, but as Angelina explained:

"I had hoped to make this film in Pakistan, but after discussions with Pakistani officials it became clear that they would be more comfortable for us to film in India.

"I am disappointed that we could not shoot the film in Pakistan, a country that I love and have visited three times. We look forward to visiting Pakistan soon.

"A Mighty Heart is a film about cross-cultural understanding and the values that people of all faiths share.

"This is not a film about terrorism or conflict, it is a story of people of all faiths working together to find the truth."
