Freida Pinto as a priestess in ‘Immortals’

‘Slum dog Millionaire’ star Freida Pinto is carving out her niche in Hollywood. Her forthcoming international flick is the epic movie ‘Immortals’ which is based on Greek mythology. The film comes from the makers of action-thriller 300 in the direction of Tarsem Singh and stars Superman Henry Cavill and Mickey Rourke.

The story of the film is about King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) who has declared war against humanity and has spread havoc in Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Since the Gods, by ancient law, must not intervene in man’s conflict, they are helpless. Here comes the peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) who has secretly been chosen by Zeus to save his people from Hyperion and his hordes. With the help of his followers, the visionary priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and cunning slave Stavros (Stephen Dorff), Theseus sets forth for this Herculean task.

Freida plays Phaedra, an oracle priestess who can see the future, but only if she remains a virgin. She helps Theseus with her gift but cannot enjoy her woman hood to the fullest.
