Freida Pinto to star in the Spy Princess

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto is all set to star in the Spy Princess. She will also produce this limited series which is based on Shrabani Basu’s Spy Princess: The Life of Noor Inayat Khan, the definitive biography of Noor’s life, from writer Olivia Hetreed (Girl With a Pearl Earring) and Red Room Films. Noor was the first female wireless operator sent into occupied France in 1943 – a role with a life expectancy of just six weeks. “She was a fierce and amazing woman, the most unlikely heroine of World War 2,” Pinto said.
