Freida Pinto : Kareena Kapoor is a game changer

The one heroine that changed the face of Indian cinema and the one who put an end to the phenomenal fee differences between lead male actors and lead female actors. That is what Freida Pinto feels about Kareena Kapoor. She was talking to a daily yesterday when she started her praise for Kareena Kapoor and expected it to be a good phase for Indian Film Industry. The actress who had shone to glory with her 'Slumdog Millionaire' appearance hasn't had time to look at Indian cinema until recently. She has been in many of the Hollywood blockbusters and the latest comment from her shows how keen she watches the Hindi films.

Kareena Kapoor has been reportedly given a ransom of Rs. 8Crore for her movie 'Heroine', which is the highest paid to any actress in the industry. And the sum is almost close to the leading male actors fee. She has also managed to give more than 3 films that did a gross of 100 crore rupees in a span of 2 years.

“Taking Indian cinema in consideration, I feel like this year we’ve kind of experienced a shift in humanity. In 

India, actually, there has been a large disparity in how much a female and male actor gets paid, but this year, one actress (Kareena Kapoor) changed all that,” she said in an interview to Flaunt magazine.

The 27-year-old Indian beauty also turned retro for a photo spread in a magazine, in which she was photographed in a short raven-haired wig in the 1950s inspired glamorous shoot. The spread has been titled Freida Pinto Is Museum Quality Beautiful. 

Pinto who has been involved in severe image makeovers since Slumdog Millionaire was spotted topless in a movie and now she is taking up the bars that restricted her. The latest glamshoot is much awaited by her fans. 

She also took the opportunity to clarify her stance on the allegation that she wasn't involved in the promotion of 'The Rise Of Planet Of Apes' in India. The actor, who faced flak for not promoting her film Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) in India, shoots back at the criticism. “When I was promoting this big-budget film, some Indian media reported that I was being a diva on set, and that’s the reason I did not want to come to India to promote the film. I’m like, ‘What? I’m in f***ing America. That’s why I can’t promote the film in India.’ It’s not easy to be in two places at once. It’s just not true.”
