For all those vying to catch international sensation Freida Pinto in a typical Bollywood potboiler there is some good news. The stunner, who is globetrotting with a series a hip projects safely tucked away in her kitty, has finally given a green signal to Bollywood.But there is a hitch, the one film sensation, Pinto is willing to work in Bollywood only if hit churner Madhur Bhandarkar is willing to direct her film. The smothering dame, who is presently busy with ‘Miral’ directed by American Julian Schnabel and will soon be seen in Woody Allen’s film, has made quiet a condition.
It all started when Freida in an interview to the international press said that she would do a Bollywood film only if it was a Bhandarkar film.
When the news reached Madhur he was naturally flattered. To work with Pinto, the current international sensation, would be any Bollywood director's dream scheme.
Says Madhur, "I'm quite flattered to hear Freida wants to work with me. I think she is aware of my female-oriented cinema. She must have seen the performances that Tabu and Konkona Sen gave in Chandni Bar and Page 3. I'd love to work with Freida."
Considering Bhandarkar has time and again only cast tried and tested actresses, Freida sure expects the taskmaster to go out of his way.
Well Freida sure seems to have given Bhandarkar a reason to smile.
