Freida Pinto to Make her Bollywood Debut with Udaan Director's Next? Four Years after making her big screen debut, Freida Pinto has finally signed a Hindi film.The actress became an overnight sensation after her first film Slumdog Millionaire won a bevy of international awards, be it the BAFTAs or the AcademyAwards. The actress went onto star alongside Hollywood hotties like James Franco, Superman Henry Cavill and even inked a film with Woody Allen. But what remained on everyone's mind is when she would actually sign a Bollywood film.Looks like Freida is gearing up for her first Bollywood film. And according to sources, Udaan director Vikramaditya Motwane and Navdeep Singh have been working on a script that they have offered to her. A source says, "While her films abroad haven't really worked wonders for her career, she has managed to stay in the spotlight thanks to her immaculate dressing sense and her so-called exotic looks. But this film could change her fortunes."Earlier apparently, Shoojit Sircar had approached Freida for his upcoming John Abraham starrer. Our sources add that Motwane asked his friend Navdeep (Manorama Six Feet Under) to make a film for his production house. We hear that the film will be heroine-oriented and the script has been penned by Navdeep. A source close to Freida says, "Both Vikram and Navdeep felt that Freida would suit the role. She has liked the script and will take a call soon." While he doesn't deny the buzz, all that Navdeep says is, "It is too early to comment."
