"Slumdog Millionaire star Rubina Ali has said that she feels abandoned by a UK director who offered her a lead role in his film. Ali, who played the young Latika in Danny Boyle&amp;#039;s global hit, revealed that she has been waiting for over three years for Lord Owen&amp;#039;s Lady to get off the ground.  Ali&amp;#039;s manager Parkash Satti told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;In 2010 Martin Pennell cast Rubina Ali for his upcoming film Lord Owen&amp;#039;s Lady, getting an agreement from Rubina and her family that she would be part of the project. &amp;quot;After a long time waiting, we don&amp;#039;t have any information about what is happening with the film and have not heard a single word from the director or anyone else.&amp;quot; Satti has made a request to Pennell, managing director at Dragon&amp;#039;s Productions, to inform Ali about the current status of the planned venture. &amp;quot;Mr Martin Pennell should know about how Rubina Ali and her family are living and that their lives have not changed much since Slumdog,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;If Mr Martin Pennell has given her hope so he has to fulfill that.  &amp;quot;My request to him is that he should come and find out about her living conditions and let her know about the project.&amp;quot; Following her role in Slumdog Millionaire, the former child star went on to  film a soft drinks commercial with Nicole Kidman and appeared in an Indian music video last year.
