Boyle buys new home for 'Slumdog' star

'Slumdog Millionaire' filmmaker Danny Boyle has bought a new apartment for child star Azhar Ismail after he was left homeless following the demolition of his shanty home in Mumbai, India.

The director and the movie's producers plucked Ismail, 10, and his co-star Rubina Ali, nine, from impoverished obscurity to appear in the Oscar-winning film and established the Jai Ho Trust last year to help fund their education.
