Slumdog Millionaire’s kids developing in life, director Danny Boyle believes

Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle believes the child actors from his film, Slumdog Millionaire, have been thriving in their lives after they tasted stardom at a very early age. Apparently, Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Ismail, who belong to a poor background, are developing fast in their life, as told by the 57-year-old filmmaker.

Boyle said, "We sent them to a wonderful school. They`re called the Aseema Schools, which are run by these women who take over abandoned state schools and offer a wonderful education, really.” He added, "They`re benefiting hugely...(Producer Christian Colson and I) go to Mumbai at least once a year... They`re bright kids -- she`s a very bright girl.” “They`ve learned to speak English, which they couldn`t do when we were shooting and that will benefit them in terms of (future) opportunities," he said further. As informed by Boyle, one of the child actors named Tanay Chheda is also focussing on his career in filmmaking right now.
