'Slumdog Millionaire' won Danny Boyle accolades at the Golden Globes and now the director is back in Mumbai, the backdrop for his award winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

And he likes Mumbai as much as he did when he came here for the first time. Now he's excited about coming back.

He's said, "It is very nice be back here. I knew very little. But I loved the story. And as I began to come here, I loved this city. The maximum city, absolutely I adore. The most difficult part was shooting the little kids who were seven year old running beside the train. "

He shares his triumphant Golden Globe experience as well and the fact that the movie is a hot Oscar contender.

He's said, "I don't know if you have seen the footage but the look on our faces, you could tell how excited we were to be there. As for the Oscars, you should go into these things expecting nothing. Just having a delight in being in the season. "

There has been some criticism from various Indian quarters that the movie showed the poverty in India and the country in a poor light to the international community.

Danny has put forth his point of view, "I tried to show the many sides of the city as I could to put into the film. I tried to be as honest as I could about the film. It is a story in the end. It is an invention if you like. It's a fantasy in some ways. But I also tried to show some realism as well. I don't apologize for that. I don't expect to please anyone. "

And very interestingly the director of other acclaimed films like 'Trainspotting', 'A life less ordinary' and ' The Beach' doesn't rule out the possibility of working in Bollywood too.

He says, "I would love to make a thriller here. I am very impressed with Anil Kapoor. I would love to work with Anil again. I like your dancer Hrithik Roshan. I think he is extraordinary. I had never seen anybody dance like that since I saw Michael Jackson. Aamir Khan as well, wonderful filmmaker. "

His admiration for AR Rahman who won a Globe for the film will remain intact for many more years. He thinks he's a lovely guy who is very inventive and original with unique scores that are also very modern.

Well, this talented guy really meant it when he once famously said, "You love India but India doesn't leave you. "

This definitely is a great honour for the country indeed.
