Danny Boyle is still "proud" of his Best Picture Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire," even while acknowledging that, as a white British director, he could not make the Bollywood-influenced Mumbai epic today.

Danny Boyle knows he’d probably get some flack if he were to pitch his Academy Award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire today. “We wouldn’t be able to make that now,” the director said in a recent interview with The Guardian.

The director adds, "We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we’ve left on the world.”
