Rene Barreto, who has been uncharacteristically silent, wrote to Freida
Pinto on 5th Jan 2009 to ask if she is a Goan and received an immediate
response about her Mangalorean links. Incidentally, The Toronto Film
Festival was the first major exposure of the film. Freida did not think
much of its chances but because she has an aunt in Mississauga she had not
seen for ages, decided to pay her a visit and was overwhelmed when it
received the Best Film award.
However there is a Goan connection with the film .
