Slumdog daddy demands more money

The father of ‘Slumdog’ kid Mohammed Azharuddin, who acted in the multiple Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, has asked for more money from the makers of the film after it was revealed that the child would get less than £ 20,000 for his work.

According to dailymail.co.uk, the 10-year-old was paid 700 pounds during filming, while another £ 17,500 has been put into a trust fund which he will get when he is 18 along with the interest.  It was also said that his family will get a new house worth £ 20,000.

The father gathers wood and is suffering from TB. He has said the money is not enough and that director Danny Boyle should hand over the money immediately.

He added, "My son has taken on the world and won. I am so proud of him but I want more money. They promised me a new house but it hasn’t happened. I’m still in the slum. I want the money now, it is of no use later. Mr Boyle should take care of my son."

We just hope the Slumdog money issue is handled without any further controversy. After all the Oscar glory, that would be a real bad thing to happen. -Sampurn Media
