Jolie tells of Mumbai media frenzy

Angelina Jolie is no stranger to media frenzy, but while filming 'A Mighty Heart' in Mumbai, India, last autumn, the actress says things got out of hand.

She blames the paparazzi for creating mayhem at a school where she was shooting scenes for the film.

Her bodyguards - who said they were trying to stave off photographers - were accused of physically blocking parents from picking up their children.

The gates of the school had been locked during filming, and a fracas took place when they were opened.

"It was not the film production that caused chaos," Jolie, 31, told Entertainment Weekly magazine.

"We were only guilty of bringing the paparazzi."

'A Mighty Heart', directed by Michael Winterbottom, is based on a memoir by Mariane Pearl, widow of Daniel Pearl, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal who was abducted and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on Islamic militancy.

"The story unfolds like a mystery," Jolie said. "You've got people collecting clues and trying to solve what happened. But it's also very real and personal. We didn't want it to be too melodramatic or too polished."
