SEE PICS: 'Lion' star Sunny Pawar meets The Rock, Triple H

Child star Sunny Pawar, who is being touted as the latest kid on the block after his heartwarming performance in Lion, had a dream come true moment when he met WWE idols like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Triple H, among others.

The eight-year-old actor attended a Raw event with his father at the Staples Center here, reported People magazine.

Sunny met his favourite, The Rock, who gave him a high-five ringside and gifted him an autographed championship belt. The actor-wrestler also posed with the young actor backstage.

The Rock captioned the image - "Great having this amazing 8yr old child actor and star of LION, Sunny Pawar, stop by my dressing room to meet. We talked about how cool it was that we both have Oscar nominated movies this Sunday, at the Academy Awards. I told him I look forward to making a movie with him one day, but he's gonna have to take a pay cut because I don't like kids. At all. What a performance he put on in LION and the best part about this kid is, he's a really REALLY polite and happy little boy. So cool to see. Good luck this Sunday big man. Bring home that Oscar!"
