Filmmaker Lakshmipriya Devi, who is over the moon with the BAFTA win of her Manipuri film ‘Boong’, has spoken about the casting process of the film, and how she got Gugun Kipgen, the child artiste who plays the titular character, on board.
'Boong' is a coming-of-age drama. The film follows a young boy, 'Boong,' who lives in Manipur with his mother after his father disappears. Believing that finding his missing father will restore his family’s happiness, the boy travels with his friend toward the border town of Moreh and even crosses into Myanmar during the search.
