Freida Pinto puts Bond girl rumours to rest!

Mumbai, March 14: Grapevine has it that Pinto was called for the screen test for the next Bond movie. But whether she would actually be in the film rests on the fact whether Danny Boyle will actually be directing the next Bond venture. Though news of the Oscar winning-director being roped in for it is doing the rounds, Boyle has put the rumours to rest – for now. While Boyle was being considered as the director and Pinto as the Bond – girl when ‘Quantum of Solace’ was being made, there is no confirmation from those involved– Boyle and Pinto. Pinto has only commented, “The idea is certainly flattering,” leaving the audience in a titillating confusion. Puzzled by such words doing the rounds, she even added, "I want to write a book on 'rumours', for I have no idea from where have they sprung!" However, Pinto’s chances of landing the role are not too far fetched, since Oscar winning Woody Allen has also chosen the exotic beauty for his upcoming venture. Previously, Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty have been media’s favourite for the sexy slot in Bond films. However, none of the two made it. Let’s see if Pinto has it in her to change the Bond-girl image to that of an Oriental one.
