Freida Pinto is being tipped to star in a film directed by Hollywood director Woody Allen.
The Bollywood star has impressed the world with her acting skills in the phenomenal Slumdog Millionaire, and now it appears she has caught the attention of the legendary director.
He's widely considered to be one of the best directors in the business and recruiting Freida could be a crucial career move for both stars.
Confirming the news, Freida’s sister Sharon Pinto said to Bollywood Gossip: "Yes, Freida has been cast in a film to be directed by Woody Allen, but she is also very busy with her agent in Los Angeles to work out her acting agenda. Currently she is overstressed with all the interviews, the media barrage."
Freida has been dogged with rumours and controversy over her secret marriage recently, so is currently taking some time out in LA.
Sharon added: "The last two weeks have been difficult for Freida with all the speculation about her personal link in the media. Some details have been very unsavoury and traumatic for her, and the family at large.
"Currently she is sleeping and catching some rest in Los Angeles. Also it being Oscar week, she has been in and out of interviews. We try to keep in touch with her, but then I always have to Google what the LA time is, for she might be asleep! I think it’s time to let her be."
