So near yet so far for Mohammed Azaruddin and his family. Though the Oscar winning film “Slumdog Millionaire” exposed the young boy to the world beyond his slums, he has to really wait atleast 8 more years to see the real yield of his efforts.
Yes, the contract appears to be 18200 pounds and a flat worth 20000 pounds. As he is a minor and hails from such a background that the money would be blown away in no time, the family was paid about 700 pounds and the balance was handed over to a trust that would control the same till he touched 18.
But, Azar’s father would not take this. He appears to have presented his side of problems demanding a better chunk of this money citing reasons of his health and the unstable job.
He wants the money now and says that the money given at a later date would be of no use. So, he wants Boyle to address this situation.
