Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto fuelled romance rumors when they were spotted going out for dinner.

Dev is filming The Last Airbender in Philadelphia while Freida is being chased by casting agencies for modelling and film work.

However, the stars finally got time to eat out in Philly, reports The Sun.

Rumours of a relationship began shortly before Millionaire swept the board at the Oscars in February.

Pinto and Patel denied they were an item, but their cover was blown by co-star Anil Kapoor.

“When I meet them, I feel there is something happening,” he said, adding that the couple shared “a magical chemistry”.

Pinto”s ex, Rohan Antao, also blamed Patel for their relationship breakdown.

“I don”t know if they were having a sexual relationship but if I came face to face with him I would have things to say. Now everywhere I go I see them on billboards. I am devastated,” he said.
