In a recent interview, the actress who denied playing the Bond girl talked about bagging two prestigious Hollywood projects.

The story of ‘War of the Gods’ revolves around a young warrior Theseus, who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat evil and the powerful elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind.

Freida Pinto will play Phaedra, an oracle priestess who must join Theseus. Phaedra joins Theseus to prevent the cataclysmic war from erupting.

The film will be produced by Gianni Nunnari of Hollywood Gang Prods, Mark Canton of Atmosphere Entertainment and Relativity topper Ryan Kavanaugh.

Rourke made a successful comeback in Hollywood last year with `The Wrestler` after a gap of ten years. He will be next seen with Robert Downey Jr in `Iron Man 2`.

Pinto shot to international fame after her role as Latika, the childhood sweetheart of Jamaal, the urchin boy, who goes on to win USD 10 million in a TV game show in Danny Boyle`s multi-Oscar-winning film.

She has completed shooting Woody Allen`s `You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger` opposite Josh Brolin and Naomi Watts, and Israeli film `Miral`, which has been directed by Julian Schnabel. Pinto plays the title part in the movie.
