That, evidently, is the plot of Saroo Brierley’s A Long Way Home, which is now becoming a film titled Lion that will star Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel (the upcoming Chappie).
The film will chronicle the kid’s tenacious search (Google Earth is involved!), which begins after he gets separated from his family, at the age of 5, on a train in India, and includes his adoption by a couple from Down Under (I shall guess Kidman will be portraying the mother figure in this scenario...).
The Weinstein Company reportedly will distribute the film stateside, so you know and can expect that there will be a major push for awards consideration when the time comes.
