London, Oct 17 (ANI): Filming of Julia Roberts' new movie, 'Eat, Pray, Love' was in trouble recently when dozens of angry residents in Bali, Indonesia, refused the production crew access to the set.
Embarrassed officials said that when the crew arrived in Bali island's Bentuyung village a month ahead of schedule, locals blocked roads and demanded 21,333 pounds for the use of the location.
"There was a misunderstanding. The crew came in (with) 20 trucks, earlier than their scheduled shooting on November 10, so the villagers were offended and blocked the roads. They asked for 300 million rupiah 21,333 pounds to use the location for filming. I was very embarrassed and told them this was unacceptable," the Daily Express quoted District chief Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati as saying.
However, Sukawati says that the problem has now been resolved and shooting will go ahead as planned.
"Everything is okay now. The villagers understand. Many local and international films have been shot here with no problem at all," he added. (ANI)
