whats the price tag on that if your no one and you want to be famous? how do you get that exposure and what would it cost? $10,000,000? $50,000,000.00?... $100,000,000.00??

i'm thinking he was very well compensated... the question is simply what does he do with that compensation going forward and how does he choose to take advantage of it. if his answer was to just go back to the slums... then he's made his choice.
Well, seeing as the person in question here is a 10 year old kid I think it is more in the hands of his mother. If the kid wants to act she could probably contact the people that made Slumdog and get some advice on how to continue with his career. But it is a tough business. Not only do you have to have the skill for the part, you have to look right for the part. I wonder how many rolls for a 10 year old Indian boy there are out there. I know India itself makes a lot of movies and he could probably get work there, but does his mom know anything about that?

So I don't know it is as simple as him just deciding to go back to the slums.
