Celebrated Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, in Pune to shoot for the film "A Mighty Heart", on Friday gave the slip to mediamen and took a round of the city in an auto-rickshaw.

The couple and their three children, who arrived in Pune from Mumbai by a chartered flight for the month-long shooting schedule of the film based on the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, are staying in a five star hotel.

Angelina and Brad boarded the auto-rickshaw from a basement parking lot while a car deliberately drove out of the main exit to divert the attention of the large number of journalists who had gathered at the hotel.

Reporters and photographers, including those from the international media, have been scouring the city for any information on the stars.

A cameraman of a TV news channel was able to get a fleeting glimpse of the star couple, which meant partial success for the mediamen as many got to share the "photo feed".

The film is based on a book of the same name by Pearl's wife Marianne about his abduction and killing by militants in Pakistan in 2002. Angelina plays Marianne in the film being co-produced by Pitt's company.

Besides a couple of bungalows here that have been booked for the shoot, rooms have been booked in two posh hotels for the star couple and crew members of the film unit.

The film is being shot at locales in Maharashtra where the landscape matches areas in Karachi, where Pearl was abducted.
