First look: Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel's Lion is about an adopted Indian boy's search for his family
Dev Patel's upcoming film with Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara and David Wenham is going to strike a chord with Indians.
The film, titled Lion, is set in Australia and chronicles the life of a hero, an adopted Indian boy who sets out on a hunt for his birth parents. As he turns 25, he is plagued with flashes of his life in India. This marks the beginning of a massive hunt that consumes the lives of both, the protagonist and his adoptive parents.
The film, directed by Garth Davis, is supposedly based on a true story.
Nicole Kidman looks almost unreconisable as Patel's mom, while Oscar-winner Rooney Mara hardly gets any screen time in the trailer. Here's hoping the film does for Patel what Slumdog Millionaire did - put him on the map.
The film will release worldwide on 25 September.
