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!!!
