Is Freida Pinto new Bond girl?

Speculations were rife that actress Freida Pinto, who shot to fame with Oscar winner SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, will step in into the shoes of a Bond girl and romance Hollywood heartthrob Daniel Craig in the next 007 movie.
However, as per the latest buzz, the pretty petite has denied the on-going rumours that she was approached by director Sam Mendes to play the lead in the next Bond movie. The statement came from her official spokesperson.
Though the hearsay appears too gratifying and one would love to be a part of such news but it seems Freida is not among those who would mislead by publishing reports which are not true or even closely confirmed.
Freida is currently out of the country working on her forthcoming projects which include, Julian Schnabel's MIRAL, Woody Allen's YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER and Tarsem Singh's DAWN OF WAR.
Well, whether she is or she won't but we would love to see Freida as the next Bond girl!
