Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt wedding soon

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt likely to tie knot in Jodhpur.

This time, no less than Hollywood's power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are set to tie the knot amid the chanting of mantras in India and an ashram in Rajasthan could be the venue for their Hindu wedding ceremony, sources say.

"Jolie, 35, and Pitt, 46, will marry in the new year and Siddha Guru Ram Lalji Siyag of Bikaner will conduct the ceremony," a source close to the guru told IANS.

He said though the date has so far not been finalised, chances are the wedding will take place in the ashram known as Adhyatma Vigyan Satsang Kendra of Guru Siyag, 83. It is situated in Chopsani area of Jodhpur.

"Guruji was asked to perform the rituals in a five star hotel situated in the city, but he refused to hold the ceremony there and suggested it could take place in his ashram," he said the guests of the celebrities can stay in a resort near the ashram.

"We are waiting for a reply from the couple on this," he added.

According to the source, Guru Siyag has been helping the couple find inner peace and harmony and strengthening their nearly five-year relationship by making them practice Siddha yoga together.

In October 2006, Angelina and Brad had visited Jodhpur and stayed at Umaid Bhawan Palace. During their two-day trip, they went for jewellery shopping and purchased traditional Rajasthani accessories.

The two have three adopted children - Maddox, Pax and Zahara - as well as three biological children - Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

Siddha Guru Siyag founded the spiritual organisation Adhyatma Vigyan Satsang Kendra about 20 years ago in Jodhpur. Siddha Yoga corrects disharmony of the body and mind. "Guru Siyag's Siddha Yoga For Spiritual Evolution & Holistic Healing" is the tagline of the organisation.

India is fast becoming a favourite wedding destination for Hollywood celebrities. British comedian Russell Brand and singer Katy Perry had tied the knot as per Hindu rites in Rajasthan in November. Before that, Arun Nayar and Liz Hurley had also married in the state, but the couple have recently split.

Angelina Jolie wins back Bosnia film permit

Actress Angelina Jolie has won back a permit to film her directorial debut in Bosnia, her producer has said.

Permission was withdrawn last week after the government said no screenplay had been attached to the application, as required by law.

Edin Sarkic told Reuters Bosnia's culture minster had been given the script to quash rumours over its alleged controversial content.

He added Jolie and her crew would now begin filming in Sarajevo next month.

"I can now start preparations for the shooting, which I had to stop last week," Sarkic said.

"It's a big thing for Bosnia that such a mega, mega star is coming to Sarajevo."

The Association of Women Victims of War had objected to the film after rumours it featured a Muslim rape victim who falls in love with her Serbian assailant.

Bakira Hasecic, leader of the association, told The Associated Press that she had tried to meet Jolie since August, when she first heard about the film's possible plot.

"We expect to meet with her now finally and we hope she will convince us that what we were suspecting and what we were afraid of is not true," she said.

Jolie said in a written statement last week it would be a shame if "unfair pressure based on wrong information" prevented her crew from shooting her film.

"My hope is that people will hold judgment until they have seen the film," said added.
