'Slumdog Millionaire's noble gesture

'Slumdog Millioniare' will be long remembered as the film that went a step beyond just providing entertainment. Not because of its extraordinary journey wining the audience world over grabbing Golden Globes and becoming a front runner for the Academy Awards. But for becoming a medium through which hope and happiness was brought to the lives of several children.

Director Danny Boyle has spoken about the plans of the financiers of the film to give a good amount from the profits to the slums in Mumbai. The money will be used for uplifting the life of several underprivileged children.

Danny Boyle said "We want to set it up as soon as possible. What absolutely mustn't happen is that the money disappears, or people think this a PR stunt". He also added that the film is going to give something back to an extraordinary city which has helped in producing an extraordinary film.

The financiers of the film will be meeting in London next week to finalize the amount to be put into the special fund.
