SLUMDOG Millionaire director Danny Boyle plans to put a`significant‘ amount of the films profits  back into the Mumbai slums where to Academy Award winning Film was made.

The rags-to-riches tale, which has stormed Hollywood, walked away with eight Oscars at the Academy Awards earlier this week.

But there has been some protest over the movie’s portrayal of slum life in India’s largest city.

Boyle told sources “This is our chance to give something back to an extraordinary city which helped us to produce an extraordinary film.”

Talks will begin next week to determine how they can set up and distribute a fund for the children.

“We want to set it up as soon as possible,” Boyle said.
