Freida Pinto and Dev Patel – On the set of Slumdog Millionaire
Freida Pinto first crossed paths with Dev Patel on the set of the Oscar-winning British drama, “Slumdog Millionaire.” He was cast as Jamal Malik while she played Latika. They played each other’s love interests in the film. However, an age difference of close to six years between the two caused some discomfort for Pinto, especially during their audition for their first love scene.
She later revealed that Patel was why she got cast in the movie. Though they didn’t talk much initially, director Danny Boyle asked the co-stars to try and become more comfortable with each other. They did, and the resulting chemistry was palpable.
