Dev Patel may be sweethearts with one of the most beautiful women in the world, but he and “Slumdog Millionaire” co-star Freida Pinto aren’t ready to walk down the aisle just yet.
When asked about the rumored wedding plans on Tuesday morning while promoting his upcoming film, “The Last Airbender,” Dev told Access Hollywood that the reports aren’t true.
“No, no,” he laughed. “I was like, ‘What?’ The wedding plans?’”
Dev went on to tell Access that the couple isn’t ready to tie the knot.
“I’m 20,” he noted. Freida is 25.
They are, however, very much together.
“Yeah, hopefully. Last time I checked we were,” he laughed. “It’s been four hours now [since I last spoke to her], so I don’t know what could happen.”
Dev added that he’s still not used to questions about his relationship.
“It’s a bit tricky,” he said. “I don’t know what to tell everyone because it’s my private thing. But it’s part and parcel of the industry so you just learn to get over the awkwardness and just play with it.”
… And play with it, Dev did.
“So still together, but not getting married?” Access asked.

Had Dev’s mom not spilled the beans about the couple last year, the two might have still continued denying that they are an item. Well, now that their truth is out in the open, Dev’s recent visit to Freida’s home city Mumbai and his meeting with her parents is viewed with keen interest.
The duo was in maximum city during Christmas which Freida celebrated with her parents, and the occasion was perfect to introduce Dev to her parents. Whether the Pintos approved of the Patel lad isn’t known, but Dev and Freida were spotted partying with a bunch of close buddies at a hotspot in Bandra last week.
The celebrity couple passed a brief word to the nightspot’s manager that they didn’t want to be clicked and needed their privacy. They partied at the club from half past eleven to the time it closed.

46-year-old Morgan, who is known for his work in “The Queen”, “Frost/Nixon” and “The Last King of Scotland”, won’t be working on the script alone though. He will be joined by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who have co-written the past four Bond features that include “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace”.

Ever since “Quantum of Solace” came out in theaters in November 2008, speculations have been mounting on the development of “Bond 23″. Several actresses, such as Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie as well as “Slumdog Millionaire” beauty Freida Pinto, have been rumored to be potential Bond girl. “Slumdog” director Danny Boyle was also caught in its helmer rumor.

So far, little is known about “Bond 23″, but two-time James Bonddepicter Daniel Craig is expected to reprise his role for the third time. Meanwhile, the start of production on “Bond 23″ has not yet been scheduled.

According to the National Enquirer, Antao recently said, “She ended it with me after getting close to Dev Patel. We both agreed we wanted to spend out lives together. She was always with Dev, doing press publicity. I knew there was chemistry between them, but she said she had no feelings toward him at that time.”

Rumors that Pinto and Patel were romantically involved have been rampant for months, but the relationship was only officially confirmed last week, when photos surfaced of the couple kissing and being all snuggly during an outdoor dinner date in Israel. Then, in case photographic evidence wasn’t enough, Dev Patel’s mother confirmed the romance to the press. Once you’ve gotten the story straight from the star’s mom’s mouth, you know you’re hearing the real deal.

Back to Rohan Antao. Antao won’t likely be picking himself up a DVD of “Slumdog Millionaire” anytime soon. Antao told the National Enquirer, “I hate the film. It wrecked my relationship.”

Currently she is shooting for “Miral” in Israel with American director Julian Schnabel. It is about the intertwining lives of Israeli and Palentinian women.

She has also signed Woody Allen’s film co-starring Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Antonio Banderas.

As far as Bollywood is concerned Freida has put her foot down and will work only with Madhur Bhandarkar.

She has said she will only turn to Bollywood if three-time National Award winning director Madhur directs a film.

Freida certainly has made a sensible choice. After all, Madhur’s films are-women oriented and are based on real-life topics, and he has reached all his female stars to stardom.

Buzz up!Freida and Dev were spotted cosying up at a lunch date in Tel Aviv, where Freida is currently shooting for Israel film Miral. Freida complained that she is finding difficult to handle the lack of privacy. She added that she has been asked constantly if she and Dev are in a relationship. She doesn’t know what to answer.

The actress however said that she couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful co-star than Dev, as he is a really great guy. She added that he is adorable and a good friend. She also said that he would always be a good friend.

In a state of disbelief, Anupam said, “First the amazing response to the screening of Saraansh in the afternoon, then this piece of news. To be in a Woody Allen film is a dream come true for me. Last year, I worked with another international filmmaking legend Ang Lee. Now Woody Allen. What more could any actor ask for in his 25th year in the business?”

Ask Anupam about the ambit of his part on Woody’s film and he protests, “You think I care? All I know is that I play Freida Pinto’s father in the Woody Allen film. Even if it is just one shot I’d be delirious. I’ve grown up and grown older watching Woody Allen’s cinema. And look at my kismet. Do you know the film’s cast? The Woody Allen film features the mighty Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Antonio Banderas. To be part of this vast cast is enough for me.”

Dancing with the joy of accomplishment, Anupam says, “Mahesh Bhatt Saab who was present at the screening of Saaransh on Sunday afternoon got on stage at the end of the screening and announced that I had received a Woody Allen film as gift for 25 years in films.”

To share this glorious moment with Anupam at the screening of Saaransh was his brother Raju Kher, wife Kirron Kher and close friends from the industry including Rakeysh Mehra, Dibakar Bannerjee, Neeraj Pandey and David Dhawan who had edited Saaransh.

“It was very moving experience,” says Anupam emotionally.

“I would love to get Duffy to sing the next tune. I think she is wonderful. Amy Winehouse would be good too,” Michael said. “We have started work on the new film, which I can’t say anything about. Daniel Craig is very keen to get going.”

Amy Winehouse was billed to write and sing a theme song for 2008 James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” with Mark Ronson. However, she missed the chance of scoring any music for the film after her health condition got worse due to adverse reaction of her anti-drugs medication. At the time, she and Mark were replaced by Alicia Keys and Jack White, the frontman of The White Stripes.

The next installment of James Bond movie itself has had several actresses, including Angelina Jolie, Freida Pinto and Jennifer Aniston, being linked to its cast ensemble. Additionally, “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle is up for the directing role of this “Bond 23″.
