‘Slumdog Millionaire' star Rubina Ali is said to have been paid more than the Oscar winning film for a drinks commercial with Hollywood superstar Nicole Kidman. According to the nine-year-old slum dweller's father, the money Rubina is receiving for doing the ad is more than the total she got for the film.

Now the complaint by the slum kid's father is that the Film people haven't kept all the promises despite the media created much propaganda on their offer. Rubina Ali, who played the child Lathika in the film "Slumdog Millionaire", have drawn great media attention since the award event at Kodak Theater. Rubina's father Rafiq Ali said that they don't have any information about the trust fund and the 21 pound that was given for her studies have stopped coming. It seems that the family is still dissatisfied with the movie makers and what they had offered. Despite the slum kids were used for the movie, the feeling that they have to still dwell in the same dirty slum again is ruining their mind.

However the family is proud of Rubina's rising profile and hopes to lead a better life in a proper house in near future.
