Indian actress Freida Pinto will romance Hollywood heartthrob Daniel Craig in the next 007 movie as she steps into the coveted shoes of a Bond girl. The actress, who rose to international stardom with the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, will star in the next spy flick to be directed by Sam Mendes, reported Mirror online.

“Sam (Mendes) has been talking about Bond for months now and is so excited about it. The project has been in the pipeline for months and Freida was always the dream Bond girl, but initially she was nervous about accepting it,” said a source.
