Ignored by Bollwyood, Freida hopes to produce film

July 21, 2011 11:03

A nobody in India, but biggish in Hollywood, a hurt Frieda Pinto says, "I was upset initially. I guess everybody in India has tried really hard to do what they do and then move into the West... The reason why I'm doing these things outside my country, bit by bit, is to be able to come back to India equipped with the knowledge and understanding of how to hopefully produce my own films one fine day."
The 26-year-old Mumbai-born rose to international fame in 2008's 'Slumdog Millionaire' and she has since appeared in a string of Hollywood projects such as Woody Allen's 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' and 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Immortals'.
But she continues to give Indian films a miss, saying she hasn't come across a good script as of yet.
