To make a film in two hours based on your journey so far is not possible, one can’t say everything but it’s good,” he said. “There are some creative liberties that they have taken, some variations have been made. “I have just given some touches to the script, just added some changes,” he adds.Saroo is happy with the final outcome of the movie but says he did not expect to get the Oscar nomination. He reveals that he was not involved in casting and scripting process much. I chose them, because they were from Australia and visited India to understand things in a better way,” Saroo said. There were about 30 production companies who approached me to make a film (based on my life) mostly from the US. He survives many challenges before being adopted by an Australian family and he eventually tracks down his lost family in India via Google maps years later “There were lots of offers to make a film on my story. “Lion” is based on the true story of a young Indian boy who gets separated from his brother and mother when he ends up 1,000 miles away from his home, lost at a train station in Kolkata. I have a collection of 300 Hindi films and one of my favourite films is ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’,” added Saroo.
