One of the great challenges of the film was to find an Indian boy to play five-year-old Saroo. Producer Angie Fielder said that the Indian production team worked closely with schools and parents in several large cities in India in their search for the right boy for the role. They screen tested thousands of children and each child who was considered to have acting potential was filmed and the tests sent back to Australia. Fielder, director Garth Davis, drama coach Miranda Harcourt, and casting director Kirsty McGregor then traveled to India to work with the shortlisted children, including Sunny Pawar, who in the end was chosen to play Saroo Brierley.
