Oscars 2017: WATCH- Red Carpet interview with Supporting Actor nominee Dev Patel

Mumbai: ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ star - Dev Patel – who has carved a niche for himself in the international showbiz arena, has cast a spell with his spellbinding acting performances. He is now a household name and has quite a number of impressive films to his credit.

The Indian-origin British actor bagged a BAFTA Award for the Best Supporting Actor for his performance in ‘Lion’ was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category at the Oscars too. He was competing with Mahershala Ali for 'Moonlight', Jeff Bridges for 'Hell or High Water', Lucas Hedges for 'Manchester by the Sea' and Michael Shannon for 'Nocturnal Animals'. Mahershala Ali bagged the coveted trophy for the category.

Dev looked daper in a white Burberry tuxedo, while his mother looked elegant in a black sari and added a touch of bling with gold work on it. With her hair tied up in a bun, Dev's mother opted to go for minimalistic with just long earrings to finish up her look.

'Lion', based on Saroo Brierley's best-selling autobiography 'A Long Way Home', is a true story about an Indian boy who falls asleep on a train only to wake up and realise he is miles away from home in a strange land where he does not speak the language. 

He experiences many challenges before getting adopted by a couple in Australia. Years later, he sets out to find his lost family.

He also said that with the role he had to "kind of battle my own resume" and convince people that he could disappear, change skin and be accepted as Saroo.
