Post Slumdog Millionaire, Freida Pinto has bagged another prestigious project. The actress confirmed on an American morning programme (The Today show) that she's doing Woody Allen's next.

Freida was on the show along with the cast and crew of Slumdog talking about the success of the film on Oscar night.

During her stay in Hollywood promoting Slumdog, Freida got herself an agent and did the rounds of several studios meeting producers.
 
Buzz is that Woody Allen watched Slumdog and was sure he wanted to cast Freida in his next. When asked about her collaboration with Woody, Frieda said on the show, "Yes, it's up in July this year.

So thank you, Danny Boyle for helping me take off." On the show, the host also discussed the possibility of Pinto notching herself an Oscar nod next year, like Penelope Cruz, who won the best supporting actress for Woody's Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Sources reveal the yet untitled film will also star Naomi Watts, who's cast opposite Josh Brolin while Freida will star along with Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Interestingly, Woody casting Freida is a break from working with his muse Scarlett Johansson, who's a permanent fixture in all his recent films.
