"Slumdog Millionaire is a film which epitomises the positive spirit of children and the film's success is an inspiration and a way forward to improve the lives of the most vulnerable children of Mumbai," said actor Anil Kapoor in a statement.

The funds will be given to Plan, an international children development organisation, that will focus on education, health, water and sanitation needs besides protection of the children living in a slum located in central Mumbai.Announcing the contribution to Plan, producer Christian Colson said: "The money should allow thousands of youngsters to get education and access to good healthcare.

"We are grateful to everyone who has supported this initiative and we are looking forward to working with Plan to ensure that the money is put to the best possible use."Danny Boyle, who directed the rags-to-riches drama, said that the initiative is a way of giving back to the city.
