Oscar winner Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) will head to Bali (Indonesia) for shooting the third and final leg of “Eat, Pray, Love”, once she completes the India part of the shooting, according to reports.

She is currently shooting at Ashram Harimandir hermitage in Pataudi, about 60 kilometers from India’s capital Delhi, and the India shooting will reportedly end around October six-10. She has already completed some shooting in New York and Italy.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, commended Roberts for her interest in spirituality, yoga and all things Indian. Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged Roberts to explore Hinduism further and deeper, which was rich in philosophical thought, when she had more time at hand.

Based on Pushcart Prize winner Elizabeth Gilbert’s spirituality/travel memoir (played by Roberts), “Eat, Pray, Love” is about her self-discovery and soul-searching after her nasty divorce, exploring through India, Italy, and Indonesia. A critic has defined it as “the worst in Western fetishization of Eastern thought and culture”.

Aimed at a release in 2011 and directed by Emmy nominated Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck), “Eat, Love, Pray” also stars Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), Viola Davis (Doubt), Billy Crudup (Almost Famous), James Franco (Pineapple Express), Luca Argentero (Lezioni di cioccolato), etc.
