<p>Freida Pinto knows exactly what kind of film she doesn&#8217;t want to make &#8211; the &#8220;mindless&#8221; variety.</p>
<p>The 26-year-old actress, who went from an unknown to in-demand film star after appearing as Latika in Slumdog Millionaire, plays a teacher in a Palestinian refugee camp in her latest film Miral.</p>
<p>She said of her reasons for doing the movie: &#8220;I just feel there are so many stories that need to be told and very few films that are doing that.</p>
<p>&#8220;So when I get this opportunity to do it (Miral), I think I should embrace it rather than take on something that&#8217;s mindless and that I won&#8217;t be satisfied doing.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying commercial films are mindless, but I mean mindless in the sense that they&#8217;re not going to do anything for me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since starring in Slumdog, Freida has shied away from more mainstream films and plumped for the likes of a musicologist in You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger (Woody Allen&#8217;s latest comedy), Rise Of The Apes and Black Gold, in which she plays Antonio Banderas&#8217;s Arab princess daughter.</p>
<p>She still makes time to see her boyfriend and Slumdog co-star Dev Patel.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have to find a way to see each other and that&#8217;s where initiative comes into it,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dev&#8217;s so understanding and that&#8217;s what really matters. I need to do the same, you know, that&#8217;s how we make it work. And we&#8217;re so young, we&#8217;ve got so much more to do. We can&#8217;t stop our work lives because we don&#8217;t want to be apart.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miral is directed by Oscar nominee Julian Schnabel and is based on Rula Jebreal&#8217;s semi-autobiographical novel about the lives of three generations of women in war-torn Jerusalem. It is released in cinemas on Friday, December 3.</p>
