    BEIJING, Nov. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Angelina Jolie, who portrays the wife of a murdered American journalist in the film "A Mighty Heart," has generated public frenzy at an islamic school in Mubbai when shooting there Thursday, witnesses said.

    Her bodyguards shoved children and their parents and threatened the parents that they should not come into the school.

    "One of Jolie's bodyguards pushed a small student and abused us as 'bloody Indians,'" one father said.

    The film crew said there had been some confusion at the school because the paparazzi had tried to get inside.

    "We had the full permission and cooperation of the school to film on the premises," the crew said.

    "Unfortunately, our arrival was impeded by the paparazzi waiting at the gates of the school. When the gates were opened to allow the parents in to collect their children, the paparazzi rushed the school causing confusion."

    Police said no one had complained about the incident so far.

    "If we get a complaint we will take suitable action," police said.

     Jolie has been in India for almost a month, being accompanied by her partner Brad Pitt and thier children.
