Talk about coming full circle!

Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel and flick director, Academy Award winner Danny Boyle, are in talks to appear together in the real life TV game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on British TV to raise money for an Indian children's charity.

An insider who has knowledge of the talks said, "Filming of the special depends on when both are available, as they are in huge demand following their Oscar success. But we hope it will happen later this year. To have Dev back in the Millionaire hot-seat would be brilliant, and would do a lot for the charity.”

The source also revealed that the show is talking to Freida Pinto about 'appearing' as a lifeline when Dev and Danny compete…just like she did in the movie!

This is life imitating art in a good way!

We hope everything works out!

    Re: ciao bella03
    uh wow are you fucked up. thats a pretty ignorant thing to say, esp considreing the concept of the movie. dont forget that its a nationally acclaimed movie and i dont see you doing anything good enough to be nationally acclaimed. that said, who deserves to be sent to slums? you, a worthless racist person, or a cast of amazing creators who put together an amazing project? yeah, that'd be you, the dirty one.
