The young star of new film Lion brought along his father Dilip for the visit and meeting with President Barack Obama.

“It was a dream,” Sunny shared about the opportunity for the visit. He added about meeting the President, “He was so nice. He said ‘namaste’ and that he loved the movie Lion.”

Sunny met with President Obama while serving as ambassador for the #LionHeart campaign, which has raised over $100,000 since launching in November 2016.

#LionHeart is a social impact campaign launched by The Weinstein Company, See-Saw Films, and The Charity Network, working to provide financial support and resources to over 11 million children living on the streets of India today.
