IT WAS all meant be done quietly - an in through the back door entrance for a private, invitation only Q&A.

But things have changed overnight.

Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel and Bollywood's own George Clooney legend Anil Kapoor will now be going in through the front door of the New Street Odeon tonight anytime from 5.30pm to 6.30pm.
