Bafta nominated Freida Pinto, after spending four months in Israel, has finished the shooting of "Miral", which will be released later this year, according to reports.

Pinto, 25, plays Miral, a girl raised in a Jerusalem orphanage in 1950s, with story spanning several decades. Shot in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in Israel, other cast of this poignant historical drama film includes Oscar nominated Willem Dafoe (Shadow of the Vampire), Alexander Siddig (The Boundary), and Hiam Abbass (The Syrian Bride).

Freida Pinto is said to have also completed her shooting for romance film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (Woody Allen), which was filmed in United Kingdom and is about a family, love lives of its members and how they try to solve their issues.

Talking to a news daily the actress insists that nothing has changed back home in India despite her international success. “They treat me the same as before, my mother is always telling me not to leave my things lying around, and I roam about the house in pajamas. But I cannot go down and play 7 Tiles anymore with the other building kids...” said Freida.

She also talked about her favorite superstar in Bollywood - SRK. “His is by far the most inspirational story of all, he’s graceful, charming, and so wonderful, the best representation that India can have internationally. And I don’t know yet if I was more excited or nervous to be standing next to Shah Rukh Khan,” Freida said.

Freida laughed over reports of her unsuccessful auditions for playing the Bond girl in Quantum of Solace.

“I have no idea where that came from, even my LA agents were curious. But this is a Bond thing, it happens with a lot of actresses, or with those in the news.

It was very flattering, I must say, and I don’t know if I would have done it. I’m too young to be a Bond girl. There’s not much of a role, though some of them have become iconic, and you need somebody more mature and beautiful than me,” told Freida.
