After being voted amongst the top 100 most beautiful people by People magazine, everything related to Freida Pinto seems to have become hot property. While shooting for 'Slumdog Millionaire', Pinto had done a sizzling video titled, 'I Promise You' in which she plays Canadian singer and composer Dal Hothi's love interest.
The video has been making waves of late, having got over 25,000 on YouTube and Hothi promises he'll be officially releasing the song and video throughout Asia within a month.
That's not all. Speaking to HT City from Canada, Hothi, who is of Indian origin, reveals that the video's popularity has done him good. 'Right now, I am in talks with some big Bollywood producers about putting the song in a Bollywood film', he said.
Hothi adds that he was never aware that the girl who shot for his video was the lead actress in Slumdog... 'Freida had mentioned she was filming Slumdog at the time, but I did not know that she played the lead in the movie. 'It was only when the hype around the film started that Hothi decided to release it officially, days before the Oscars. 'Initially, I thought Freida was just a small player in the movie. It was only later that I realised that she was the star of Slumdog...'
While some people have accused the video of being way too hot, Hothi, who awaits Freida's response to the video, defends, 'Bollywood films have more explicit sex scenes'.
