The parents of child artists, Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Ali, said they would not be going. Azharuddin's father, who has TB, was in hospital and his mother would not let him travel with a caretaker.
The parents of the child artists have said they would not allow them to travel to Holywood and instead asked the air fares to be paid to them.
"The last thing they said to us was give us the money for the plane fares instead," Christian Colson, the film's producer told The Daily Telegraph.
The film-makers had decided not to take any of the child actors to award ceremonies, but were persuaded to take them to the Academy Awards as a once-in-a life-time experience. Azharuddin's mother, Shameen Ismail, said she had been told her son would receive money when he finished school, and that they would be given a flat.
"But we need the money and help now. It is hard living like this," she said, pointing to the rubbish that surrounds her as she cooks in an open fire in Mumbai Slum.
"I am worried that after the Oscars are over they will forget us and no one will be interested. Where we live may be cleared to any time and then we will have nowhere to live."
Colson said, he and the film director Danny Boyle had sought to do "the right thing" for the children and their families. All the children received the same amount for 30 days of filming, the equivalent of a monthly salary payment for the production company's senior staff in Britain - but it has already gone.
"What happened to the money we paid them, I don't know," Colson said. The producers of the award-winning film are trying to find a new home for Azharuddin's family.
Boyle and Colson said they thought it would be irresponsible to simply pay the children large sums which might be taken by relatives or others and resolved to remain involved with the youngsters, ensure them a good education and then pay them a "substantial amount" when they reached 18.
They have kept the amount deposited for them in the trust fund a secret from the parents to stop them signing it away to anyone else.
"We're very proud of the amount, any 18-year-old in this country (Britain) would be very happy if they were given it when they're 18. But the perception that there's money causes trouble," said Colson.
According to the report, yesterday Azharuddin still believed he was going to Hollywood. "I am going to the Oscars. It is very exciting. I am practising my English for it," he said.
