Freida Pinto to turn producer

Actress Freida Pinto who’s miniscule role in the multiple Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire got her Hollywood’s attention, has reportedly admitted that she is not famous in her own country. The actress, however, has plans to turn filmmaker and produce films in India, one day.

Her statement that she’s not not done a film in India because she has got the right script has also come in  for a lot of flak among Indian filmmakers, some almost reacting to it saying, ‘what has she done that’s so great in Hollywood.’

“I haven’t done a film in India because I haven’t found a script that got my attention. I keep saying that I’m not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India. I was upset initially,” the star was quoted as saying.

The actress said that one day she would like to return to her own country and make her own films.

“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 some day,” Freida added.
