Hollywood star Elijah Wood, best known as Frodo Baggins of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, is in India on a music tour. And on his first day in the country, the actor enjoyed an auto-rickshaw ride, which he compared to a “Disney roller coaster”.
Wood, who landed on Wednesday night, will be visit three cities on his India tour with Zach Cowie, with whom he makes the Wooden Wisdom DJ duo.
An auto-rickshaw ride was not the only thing the actor had on his to-do list. Wood also wants to relish the flavours of authentic Bengali cuisine.
A source said: “He loved the auto-rickshaw ride and said that ‘it is like a Disney roller-coaster ride’ for him. He will be having authentic Bengali lunch, following which he will rest for a while and address a press conference.”
Wood also has plans to soak in the nightlife of Mumbai by performing on Thursday at the Trilogy Nightclub, where he will be mixing some Bollywood numbers in his set.
If time permits, he’s also keen to explore the city.
“He is happy to be visiting Mumbai during peak of monsoon when the weather is fine and is glad that he is getting a glimpse of the city with no rain. He plans to roam in and around Bandra if he has some spare time on his hands,” the source said.
Hosted by Indian actor Ali Fazal, Wooden Wisdom will be visiting Delhi and Hyderabad as well. Wood reportedly also wants to visit Agra to see the iconic Taj Mahal.
