Danny Boyle, the famous English director is under way with his new film 'Slumdog Millionaire' to be completely shot in Mumbai. The film is based on a slum dweller kid and how he manages to win huge on the famous Hot Seat on a show on the likes of 'Who Wants to be a Millionare.'

The initial news suggested that Shahrukh Khan was being roped in by Boyle to play the quizmaster but now we hear that Amitabh Bachchan will also play a pivotal role in the film but not that of the quizmaster. And it seems Shahrukh Khan is reconsidering the film although he had initially shown great interest.

What's his excuse for not being able to do it? The usual B-Town excuse - dates - what else! Boyle is still trying to woo Khan failing which Anil Kapoor might be roped in. Although we are all for Kapoor's acting skills there are only two quizmasters in India that managed to wow the audience away from their saas-bahu soaps - Big B and King Khan!
