Freida Pinto is being lined-up to appear in the next James Bond film.

The Slumdog Millionaire actress is thought to have been invited to attend a screen test by producer Barbara Broccoli, 48.

‘Freida came to the attention of the Bond team when they were casting Quantum Of Solace,’ says a source. 

‘She was too young at the time to have a part as a love interest for a secret agent.

'But she has blossomed into an incredibly stunning young woman and would look perfect on Daniel Craig’s arm.’

Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, 52, has apparently been approached to make the flick. 
 
‘Danny is favourite to take the helm of the next movie, which would increase Freida’s chances of a starring role,’ the source tells The Sun.

Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars last month.
