Freida Pinto Premieres "Trishna" at BFI London Film Fest
Stepping out for her latest theatrical project, Freida Pinto was the focal point today (October 22) at The BFI London Film Festival.
The 27-year-old actress dazzled in black as she took to the Vue West End for the premiere of her new movie "Trishna" alongside director Michael Winterbottom.
Having attended a press conference and photocall earlier in the day, "Trishna" tells "the story of the tragic relationship between the son of a property developer and the daughter of an auto rickshaw owner."
Meanwhile, recent buzz suggests that Miss Pinto has inked a two-year endorsement deal with a high fashion apparel brand for a whopping $7 million.
“Since it is a two-year deal, it makes it a $7 million deal. In Indian rupees, it is approximately R35 crore. It is higher than what any Indian female celebrity has ever been paid,” an insider told press.
Meanwhile, a managing director for KWAN, the agency that handles Freida’s endorsements in India, said, “It’s a policy never to comment on brand deals. We’ve witnessed Freida’s phenomenal growth in such a short span, and that too on a global platform. Brand Freida stands for very rare, unique and irreplaceable values and imagery, making her the ideal choice for a brand with a global appeal and an Indian focus.”
