The cast of Slumdog Millionaire

The cast in SlumDog Millionaire were real people from slums in India. Which the directors and producers took a risk using, as people want to see well known actors that have been in other films that they can relate to. I feel using real people from the slums was a great idea. They didn't have to act but could be themselves and natural situations. They were just under the pressure of having a camera in their home.
