Quinn asked:

Why was the movie version's name changed to "Lion"? This is kinda confusing to me.

To answer questions about Lion, please sign up.

Mike Wilcox he had pronounced his name wrong all his life. Sheru was his birth name meaning Lion in Hindi..

Judy That was the meaning of his name in Hindi.

Sheena 'Sher' is lion in Hindi. 'Sheru' is a diminutive or a pet name - sort of lion cub.

Migg You will find the answer if you either, watch the movie or read the book. Sorry, I didn't want to spoil the story.

Irena Does Long Way Home, an original book version, is in any way else different from Lion publication?

Mohamed Well I assume that you didn't see the movie yet :-)

Anne (Artsy Reading) Maybe you should watch the movie lol

Annie I was just about to ask the same question. Thanks for the answer, although I thought the title of the book was good enough for the movie too.
