Eat, Pray, Love release date announced

Julia Roberts starrer Eat, Pray, Love, which took the Hollywood star to Italy, Indonesia as well as India for what she describes as the 'acting Olympics', will release in India on Aug 27.

Directed by Ryan Murphy, the movie is based on Pushcart prize-winning author Elizabeth Gilbert's spirituality travel memoirs and features Roberts as Gilbert who travels to Italy, India and Indonesia in search of peace.

Commenting on her shooting schedule for the movie, Roberts said: "It was quite a huge undertaking. It was a little bit daunting, dragging three little kids around the world, but well worth it? It was really like the acting Olympics."

"It's been a long time since I've had a full-time acting job. I am really glad that I made the decision to go off and do that movie," she said in a press statement. Produced by Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner, the film releases Aug 13 in the US. Also in the film are Richard Jenkins, Javier Bardem, Billy Crudup, James Franco and Viola Davis.
