Pataudi (Haryana), Sep 21 - Almost 350 security men, bulletproof cars and a chopper too - that's what it takes to secure Hollywood star Julia Roberts, who is here with her three children to shoot for the movie 'Eat, Pray, Love'.

'There are more than 100 policemen outside the Ashram Hari Mandir and almost equal number inside the premises, both uniformed and in civilian disguise. Nobody can breach this cover and no outsider is allowed to enter the ashram, no matter whosoever he or she is. We have strict instructions,' a Haryana police official told IANS, requesting anonymity.

The actress, who arrived here Thursday, is staying at the Pataudi Palace with her three children, their nannies and other cast and crew members.

'The organisers have hired more than 100 burly bouncers and security guards from Delhi that includes close to 40 gunmen (besides the police protection),' the officer said.

Sources also said that the 41-year-old star has three bulletproof cars with jet-black window panes for her personal use, while a chopper has also been noticed invigilating the village.

No Indian fans, Julia!

She's a big star and has a huge following in India but only, it appears, in urban centres. Hollywood's 'Pretty Woman' has descended on this hick Haryana town, just 40 km from the national capital, but there are no swarms of fans jostling to get a glimpse of the Oscar winner.
