The Rock Is Now a Fan of ‘Lion’ Star Sunny Pawar

Lion’s big little star Sunny Pawar just found a fan in none other than Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock. Johnson took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with Pawar with a cute message on how he loved the little one’s performance and hoped he would work with him one day.

He also wished Pawar luck for the Oscars - Lion, which also stars Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman, has six nominations. Moana, in which Johnson has done a critically acclaimed voice over, is also in the running for the best animated feature film.

Great having this amazing 8yr old child actor and star of LION, Sunny Pawar, stop by my dressing room to meet. We talked about how cool it was that we both have Oscar nominated movies this Sunday, at the Academy Awards. I told him I look forward to making a movie with him one day, but he's gonna have to take a pay cut because I don't like kids. At all. What a performance he put on in LION and the best part about this kid is, he's a really REALLY polite and happy little boy. So cool to see. Good luck this Sunday big man. Bring home that Oscar!
