Dev Patel to appear on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Slumdog Millionaire star to raise money for charity

Dev Patel also starred in Skins

Dev Patel is in talks to take part in ITV’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

His character in Slumdog Millionaire appears on the Indian version of the gameshow.

Director Danny Boyle, 52, is expected to join Dev, 18, to raise money for charity.

'We were approached by Railway Children about doing the special — and we think it would be fantastic,' a spokeswoman for show producers Celador tells The Sun.

'Danny and Dev would play together, as with all our celebrity specials, but filming depends on their availability.'

Meanwhile, Dev's co-star Freida Pinto, 24, has been cast by Woody Allen, 73, in his new unnamed comedy.

Shooting will begin in London in the summer.

‘It’s up for July,’ Freida confirmed to US programme Today.
