Freida Pinto is to become the next Bond girl.
The ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ actress has signed a multi-million pound deal to play the suave spy’s love interest in the 23rd James Bond movie – which is set in Afghanistan – after being approached by director Sam Mendes.
A source said: “Sam has been talking about Bond for months now and is so excited about it. The project has been in the pipeline for months and Freida was always the dream Bond girl, but initially she was nervous about accepting it. This is going to be the most ambitious 007 yet. Sam plans to reinvent the genre.
Freida will star alongside Daniel Craig, who will be reprising his role as Bond once more, while US actress Olivia Wilde has been approached to play a double-crossing UN worker based in Afghanistan.
That’s huge!!! First Indian Bond girl! The only other Asian bond girl was Michelle Yeoh, when she played Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies.
