As of 2016, Dev Patel has performed in seven major motion pictures. Which three movies listed feature Dev Patel as a leading character?

Here are three major films where Dev Patel performed as a main character: The Last Airbender (2010), Chappie (2015), and Lion (2016).

The Last Airbender was a huge misstep for director M. Night Shyamalan and will possibly go down in history as the worst film adaptation ever. Nevertheless, by scoring a role in what was supposed to be a blockbuster film, it was a big deal for Patel. It helped his career. Next, even if Chappie wasn't as critically successful as Neill Blomkamp's first feature, District 9, this science-fiction film was still a good chance for Patel to reach a genre audience. He was seen as successful. Third, we are brought to Lion, Patel's most complex role to date. He was nominated by all the major award shows: Critics' Choice, Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globes, and Oscars. He had a excellent chance to win very big in 2016!

Back in 2007, when Dev Patel got his first on screen role as Anwar Kharral in the TV series, Skins, it was known that he could be a major performer on either the big or small screen. Until 2016, London-born Dev Patel remained best known for his role in Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Next, thanks to the picture, Lion (where Patel played a man searching for the family he was separated from in his childhood), he is today considered an A-list star. His seven acting roles known to the public have finally made Patel part of Hollywood's elite!
