Slumdog child stars' day out, courtsey Gerard Butler

Hollywood actor Gerard Butler treated the child stars of Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire to a day out at a five-star hotel.

The 300 star on Sunday organised the jaunt for Rubina Ali Qureshi and Azhar Mohammed Ismail, who play the young Latika and Salim in the multiple gong movie, while on tour to India with a group of friends, reports the Daily Mail online.

Butler, 39, first met the youngsters at the Oscars in February and had taken a shine to them. At one point the Scottish star even lifted little Rubina up in the air so high that she could touch the ceiling of the hotel room with her hand.

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra was also present at the Mumbai gathering.
