Woody Allen finds his new star in Slumdog's Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto , the nubile Indian actor, who's riding high on the Oscar success of her debut film Slumdog Millionaire , has been been spotted and lapped up by Hollywood oldie Woody Allen for his next flick.
In an interview to a U. S. morning news programme, the 24-year-old actor thanked director Danny Boyle for landing her a role in sex and comedy magician Allen's new venture.
"Yes, it''s up (begins) in July," the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
Allen's distinctive films, which run the gamut from dramas to screwball sex comedies, have made him one of the most respected living American directors.
Allen is also credited with romancing with young actors, whom he casts in his film.
Slumdog Millionaire swept the 81st Academy awards by winning 8 honours including the Best Film.
