I don't know about Rai's salary, but I higly doubt Pinto is going to get $2-3 million for a Woody Allen movie. His last few movies have been relatively low-budget (an estimated $4 million for Scoop, $15 million each for Cassandra's Dream and Vicky Cristina Barcelona). It would be very difficult for any actor (be it Cruz or Johansson or McGregor) to take home a multimillion dollar paycheck when the budgets are that tight. When you factor in that the movies have mostly ensemble casts composed of very famous actors, it becomes even more difficult. Hypothetically speaking, if Pinto's getting $2-3 million, then her co-stars Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, and Antonio Banderas are getting paid much more. Presumably, you've already blown through your budget right there if you give all those big names big paychecks!

I know Pinto has the Oscar buzz surrounding her. But, I don't think there's any way her or her team could get her that type of paycheck for a Woody Allen film (especially considering that she's only been in 1 movie and had relatively little screentime). I think the cache of being in a Woody Allen film (regardless of its quality) is the real reward at this very early stage in her career. If she were carrying a big studio comedy (like 27 Dresses or Confessions of a Shopaholic) whose success depended mainly on audiences connecting with her, I'd have an easier time believing the figure.

That's true. Maybe they want to keep the hype about her going. I've already seen blogs where people are saying they are sick of her. That's not good for people to already be tired of her, since she just came out.

Freida lands Estee Lauder Deal:

Freida Pinto has landed a £200,000 ($350k) deal to be the new face of Estee Lauder, according to reports.

The Indian actress - who shot to fame after starring in the Oscar-winning Danny Boyle film Slumdog Millionaire - will join the likes of Liz Hurley and Gwyneth Paltrow by becoming the make-up company's "spokesmodel".

The deal will make Freida, 24, for the firm's first Indian face, according to British newspaper The Sun.

"Freida is hot property right now," a source said.

Freida's spokesperson said he could not comment on the report before Estee Lauder releases a statement, but did say: "We are getting two or three offers every day from national as well as international firms."

Pinto's next movie role will be in a new Woody Allen film alongside Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas. It starts filming in London in July.
