'Slumdog' director meets with evicted stars

Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle has met with the two evicted child stars of the film in Mumbai, it has been reported.

Rubina Ali, 9, and ten-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail were left homeless after Mumbai officials cleared out the city slum where the impoverished stars lived.

"We've been trying for a long time to move them into legal accommodation," Boyle told reporters.

Ali's father told reporters that the filmmakers haven't done enough to help the families, Access Hollywood reports.

"It has been five to six months. Everything is available in Mumbai if you have the money. If you really want to get us a house you can get us a house in two days," he said.

The film's producers have said that they have set up a trust for the two child stars to ensure they have proper homes, a decent education and a nest egg after they graduate from high school. They have also donated £500,000 to a Mumbai charity dedicated to helping slum children.
