Father Of Slumdog Millionaire Star Is Cruel And Ungrateful!
The father of one of the breakout stars from Slumdog Millionaire is attempting to squeeze more money out of Slumdog director Danny Boyle!
Azharuddin Ismail, who played Salim in the Oscar winning pic was initially paid $1,000 dollars during the filming of Slumdog and $25,000 dollars have supposedly been placed in a trust that Ismail will have access to once he turns 18.
Boyle also supplies the 10 year old boy with a $30 dollar a week allowance and has promised to purchase his family a new home out of the slums for $30,000 dollars!
That's not nearly enough for Ismail's father, Mohammed!!
Are you kidding???
The money-grubbing father is demanding the money ASAP, telling reporters, "My son has taken on the world and wom. I am so proud of him but I want more money. I want the money now, it is of no use later. Mr. Boyle should take care of my son."
Mohammed was photographed beating his son last week after Ismail begged to rest his jet-lagged body upon returning from the Oscar ceremonies in Los Angeles!
Awful!
Slumdog producers are adamant on insisting the amount of money in the trust has not been revealed, but regardless, the money is in a trust for good reason!
Keep the $$$$$ far away from this man!!!

Bisous, Siegfried & Roy!
WTH The boy should get like a million bucks they would of paid and American or a rich Indian that much.
i dunno but i dont think 25000 dollars and a 30 thousand dollar house in india make up for the fact that he was part of a major movie this year that made lots of money…i think they are being jipped by hollywood. those little kids made the movie in my opinion! its not right for the father to get his greasy paws on the cash it should be given in allowance each week to the boy and then a majority of the money put away till he is of age where his father cant swindle it away from him. the dad should be happy with a house in my opinion!
Re: carolineyy – - yeah…..we're forced to be nextdoor to stupid Americans!
This movie has made alot of money and these actors deserve to be paid more money! But I'm not surprised that the actors were exploited by Danny Boyle, Hollywood is filled with self centered greedy jerks.
what a dick. danny boyle has already gone above and beyond the call of duty. and to hit his son like he did was disgraceful
Lay down with dogs and you get up with fleas. Next time Danny should bring in real actors who understand how the business works. He'll be lucky if he doesn't end up on some hit list.
omg are you fucking kidding me
that is terrible that he beats his son
if people no about this then something most be done
this guy should go to fucking jail, you cant just beat your child cause he wants to rest after he won a fucking oscar
he is just making his son work for money that he is probabley going to keep, they shouldnt give the father the money cause he will just use it and not like the boy have it
fuck this guy
Typical fucking Indian. They all act like that eventually, some sooner than others.
