Though Mittal gave a very powerful performance in '' Slumdog Millionaire '' as Salim , he was kept away from the spotlight , the focus instead set firmly on the lead couple of the film . When asked about his absence from the studio-generated hype , he shrugs : “ The studio wanted to promote it as a love story . ” In 2008 he was nominated for the Black Reel Awards of 2008 for Best Ensemble and in 2009 , along with the entire cast of '' Slumdog Millionaire '' he won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the 15th Screen Actors Guild Awards . He was also set to be present for the 66th Golden Globe Awards and the 15th Screen Actors Guild Awards
