Slumdog Millionaire London, Jan 14 (ANI): Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali, who lived in Mumbai’s slum, is all set to move into a new luxury home.

The 10-year-old girl, who played a poverty-stricken child in the Oscar-winning film, now has a small fortune in book and film deals.

Her agent said she is already committed to projects worth more than 145,000 dollars and her family could soon move out of the slums and into a new apartment paid for by a trust set up by the film’s director, Danny Boyle.

Rubina and her Slumdog co-star Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, 11, both landed roles in the independent film ‘Lord Owen’s Lady’, a romantic comedy by Dragons Productions (Wales) Ltd, said chairman Martin Pennell.

The children shot to fame after starring in Slumdog, the rags-to-riches blockbuster that won eight Oscars, reports The Daily Express.

Rubina played the young Latika, who grows up to become the hero’s love interest, and Azhar plays his brother, Salim. (ANI)
