If rumors are to be believed, the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ star has signed

If rumors are to be believed, the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ star has signed a two-year endorsement deal with a high fashion apparel brand for $7 million.

She is expected to get $3.5 million a year.

“Since it is a two year deal, it makes it a $7 million deal. In Indian rupees, it comes out to be approximately Rs35 crores. It is higher than what any Indian female celebrity has ever been paid,” said a source close to the 27-year-old Indian model-turned-actress.

When contacted, Anirban Das Blah, managing director, KWAN, the agency that handles Freida’s endorsements in India, said, “It’s a policy never to comment on brand deals. We’ve witnessed Freida’s phenomenal growth in such a short span, and that too on a global platform. Brand Freida stands for very rare, unique and irreplaceable values and imagery, making her the ideal choice for a brand with a global appeal and an Indian focus.”

She will soon be seen playing the Oracle priestess Phaedra in Tarsem Singh’s ‘Immortals’, which will release November 11. Her other upcoming projects include Jean Jacques Annaud’s ‘Black Gold’ and Michael Winterbottom’s ‘Trishna’.
