MUMBAI, India — The makers of “Slumdog Millionaire” met the film’s two impoverished child stars Wednesday and reassured them they will soon have new homes. But the father of one of the children stormed out, saying the filmmakers have not done enough to help.
Rubina Ali, 9, and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, 10, at right with the film’s director, Danny Boyle, both lost their homes this month when city authorities demolished parts of their slum in Mumbai. Rubina has been staying with relatives, and Azhar has been living in a makeshift shanty of tarps and blankets with his parents.
“We’ve been trying for a long time to move them into legal accommodation,” Boyle said.
