shuktara on the set of Lion film
First trailer for LION released!
Lion is a film that resonates with many at shuktara - it's the story of a boy who gets lost after boarding the wrong train and ends up in Kolkata, far from home. Adopted by a couple from Australia, many years later he goes back to India to search for his family.
When Lion was filmed last year in Kolkata four of the boys from shuktara were called in by the production team to be part of the film.
Here are photos of Raju, Ashok, Sumon and Bablu on the set.
