Around two months ago, Scottish actor Gerard Butler promised to donate Rs 5 lakh to each of the Slumdog Millionaire child stars Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail. However, till date, he has not lived up to the promise.
"Two and half months ago, Butler approached us and promised to give the kids Rs 5 lakh each.
We informed him that the donation would be used as funds to provide houses for the kids. We have not heard from him since then," said Matoo.

"He had called us once and said that whatever he had promised would be given."
The Jai Ho Trust was founded after the release of Slumdog Millionaire for the welfare of the child stars Rubina and Azhar. The trust has already allotted a house to Azhar's family.
