At Marine Lines, the duo boarded the train once again, to travel to the next and last stop, Churchgate.

There, they were mobbed by excited crowds, photographers and paparazzi, who were waiting to shoot pictures.

Incidentally, A Mighty Heart is being filmed in Mumbai because Daniel Pearl came to Mumbai before leaving for Karachi with his wife Marianne Pearl (played by Jolie), where he was executed.

Onlookers going nuts over Angie

Onlookers could not believe that they were looking at one of Hollywood's leading actresses.

Angelina, who even bought train tickets, boarded the train with her costar Dan Futterman, and travelled to the next station, Marine Lines. She even travelled second class despite the rush hour, rather than the first class compartment.

Spectators tried to click pictures of the star but her bodyguards obstructed the view.

At Marine Lines, Angelina was spotted buying peanuts and Mentos, a mouth freshner mint. The shopkeeper -- 15-year-old Raju Singh -- wondered who the 'angrez' couple were, who had stirred up such a frenzy.

Dressed informally in T-shirt and cargo pants, Angelina was accompanied by costar Dan Futterman (right) and several bodyguards.

The actress, along with Brad Pitt, is in the city for a week to shoot for the film A Mighty Heart, based on the life of Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl, who was killed by Al Qaeda operatives in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2002.
