LONDON: Move over Amitabh Bachchan. India’s Tourism Ministry is eyeing Julia Roberts, the internationally-acclaimed star of ‘Erin Brockovich,’ ‘Notting Hill’ and ‘Pretty Woman,’ to promote the country globally and pull in visitors through yoga.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government seems to want to cash in on the Hollywood actress’ love for the practice to boost tourist inflow, reported Gulf News. In the film ‘Eat, Pray and Love,’ Roberts plays a woman experimenting with spirituality while traveling in India after a distressing divorce.

The Telegraph on Wednesday quoted a senior tourism ministry official saying: “The plan has to be approved by Tourism Minister Mahesh Sharma and the Prime Minister’s Office before we approach the actress, but having an international face recognized for practicing yoga is crucial for the success of the campaign.”
