The makers of Slumdog Millionaire have promised new homes to two of the film's young stars.
Despite their international success, Rubina Ali, nine, and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, ten, found themselves homeless after city authorities tore down parts of their Mumbai slum.
Rubina, who played the hero's love interest Latika, has been staying with relatives, while Azharuddin, who played the tearaway brother Salim, sheltered under tarpaulins and blankets.
Director Danny Boyle, who flew to India along with Christian Colson, said progress had been made in securing legal accommodation for the children through a trust fund set up by the filmmakers.
He added: "It's obviously a concern, it's a terrible concern and one of the reasons that we started the trust was to try to deal with emergencies like that.
"And we can say that the trust is making progress in making sure that they have got solid, legal accommodation to live in."
Rubina's father Rafiq Qureshi said: "It is these people's responsibility to get us houses, as the children have done so much hard work in the film."
