Recently, there were news reports of Freida Pinto starring in her first ever Bollywood film to be directed by Navdeep Singh,of 'Manorama Six Feet Under' fame, and produced by Vikramaditya Motwane who directed the much acclaimed 'Udaan'. The film is heroine oriented in which Freida would play the role of a detective trying to solve a murder mystery. However, now there is speculation that Freida's Bollywood debut may have run into some trouble.

According to Subhash K Jha's source: "Freida met Navdeep and Vikramaditya Motwane who was to produce the film starring her as a detective. She liked the script. But she had one pre-condition before signing the film. She wants Vikram Motwane to direct the project while Navdeep, thinks Freida, could be on board as a writer."

"The whole idea of Navdeep writing the film was to let him direct it so that the long break due to his aborted projects would be broken. He has been able to make only one film in six years. Vikram Motwane was only helping his friend Navdeep out. There's no way he will step in as director. If Freida insists they will go to another actress. At the moment they're trying to convince her." For now, it looks like we'll have to wait and see if Freida ends up signing this film!
