Freida Pinto as Caroline Aranha in Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Freida Pinto was born 18 October 1984 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Her mother, Sylvia, is a principal of St John's Universal High School and her father, Frederick, is a senior branch manager at the Bank of Baroda.

Pinto dreamed of becoming an actress since she was five years old. When Freida was ten, Indian model Sushmita Sen won Miss Universe 1994, which turned out to be a defining point in Freida's life. 

Pinto is due to appear in the 2011 science fiction film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a reboot of the Planet of the Apes series, opposite James Franco. She will portray the role of Caroline Aranha , a primatologist, who studies primates in the film.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is an upcoming 2011 American science fiction film, directed by Rupert Wyatt. The script has been written by Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa.
 
The film is not based on the specific plotline from the original series, but instead takes elements from the earlier movies to create an original origin story.

This film tells, Will Rodman (James Franco) currently residing in San Francisco, is working on a cure for Alzheimer's by performing tests on apes. The first test subject is a chimpanzee, named Caesar, whose parents had been captured in Africa. Rodman's "cure" genetically modifies Caesar's way of thinking to create a new breed of ape with human-like intelligence. Caesar learns well, but human authority continues to test him and contain him. However, he eventually proves smart enough to break free from his cage and release the cure among other apes (including the ones that are caged with him), increasing their intelligence, like Caesar. Thousands of apes begin to foment revolution. Soon, war breaks out between humans and apes. Rodman may be the only one able to stop them before the ape revolution ends with the apes succeeding and becoming the dominant species on the planet once again.

This movie slated for release in the United States and Canada on August 5, 2011
