Freida Pinto plays a stripper in Bruno Mars' new music video

She kickstarted her film career, playing the plain Jane-next-door. But as part of an almost drastic image makeover, Freida Pinto has set the floor on fire with her stripper-act in a new music video.

The actress, who moved to the US post Slumdog Millionaire, has a rather bold avatar in Bruno Mar's single Gorilla, where she is seen stripped down to her lingerie in the video.

Says a source, "Freida plays a sultry stripper in a seedy bar in the song and is seen writhing around a dance pole." Actor Luis Guzman makes a cameo as the strip club owner, introducing the actress as the ‘new girl in town'.
