Freida Pinto will not be attending the 63rd Cannes Film Festival because of her shooting commitments.

The 24-year-old Slumdog Millionaire star was supposed to hit the red carpet at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival next month along with the stars of "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" directed by Woody Allen.

In a statement, Pinto's representative said, "This is to confirm that Freida Pinto unfortunately will not be attending the Cannes film festival as she is shooting for 'Immortals' in Canada. Her film 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' directed by Woody Allen will be premiering at Cannes."

Directed by Tarsem Singh, "Immortals" will hit theatres by the coming year (2011).

The 63rd edition of Cannes Film Festival opens on 12th May to 23rd May and will witness a host of global celebs in attendance.

Frieda, a girl from Malad, has certainly come a long way in a short time!

She had a dream debut and accompanied it a lot of endorsements. She is the face of several top brands and is working with high profile Hollywood artistes. (With Inputs from Agencies)
