Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are disappointed after filming for their new movie was relocated to India, amid security and safety fears in Pakistan.
A Mighty Heart, based on the story of murdered American journalist Daniel Pearl, will now be filmed in the western Indian city of Pune.
The couple's spokesperson Trevor Neilson says: "They talked with people from all levels of the Pakistan government and there's certainly no hard feelings. But it became clear that it was preferable to film in India."
In a statement, Jolie expresses her frustration at the location change: "I am disappointed that we could not shoot the film in Pakistan, a country that I love and have visited three times."
Jolie plays Pearl's wife Mariane, while Pitt is co-producing the movie.
Pearl was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan in 2002, while researching a story about Muslim fundamentalists.
