The makers of the “Slumdog Millionaire” movie have donated $747,500 to Plan, an international charity that works with street children in the Mumbai slums where the Oscar-winning film is set, the Associated Press reports.
The producers also announced the appointment of trustees to manage a fund for two of the movie’s child stars who grew up poor in Mumbai.
The filmmakers have been criticized for failing to share the bounty from the movie, which has grossed more than $300-million worldwide, with the Indian city’s millions of slum dwellers.
