Cast

Slumdog millionaire did not use well known characters to the film industry. Dev Patel got the leading role; Danny Boyle considered hundreds of young Bollywood actors, but Boyle's daughter pointed Dev Patal out from his role in the television drama Skins. The lead girl Freida Pinto was an indian model who had never been in a feature film before. By using fresh new actors and actresses, it made Slumdog millionaire different and stand out from other films. People wanted to watch this fresh new film. The film was a big hit.
