Indian beauty Freida Pinto says that she is tired of playing the exotic love interest in Hollywood films and wants a role in an action flick.
The 25-year-old Mumbaikar shot to fame as Latika in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ which went on to win eight Oscars and played a similar feminine character in Woody Allen’s romance ‘You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger’.
But Pinto is tired of the girly roles now and wants some action,reported Daily Mail online.
“I keep playing the damsel in distress. But I’d like something with a kick now,” she said.
Pinto who is dating her ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ co-star Dev Patel,said that she was very nervous while shooting with Woody Allen. “This was my third film,so I was worried I was the only one with a lot to learn. But when I met people like Anthony Hopkins who were feeling pretty nervous,I realised everyone is intimidated to work with a legend,” said Pinto.
After making their debut in the Mumbai based potboiler,both Pinto and Patel,20,have gone on to become international stars.
Pinto’s performance in French director Julian Schnabel’s film ‘Miral’ has already created a buzz. The former model is paired opposite James Franco in the ‘Rise of the Apes’ and she has already started work on Tarsem Singh’s new movie ‘Immortals’ alongside stars like Mickey Rourke and Kellan Lutz.
