Being BOMAN

Boman Irani is a versatile actor celebrated for his remarkable ability to portray a wide array of characters with depth and authenticity. He began his cinematic journey alongside the acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani, with whom he shares a profound creative synergy and a similar sense of humour. Irani's performances in films like 3 Idiots, Lage Raho Munnabhai, Don and many more have earned him critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. Known for his meticulous preparation and commitment to his roles, he has left an indelible mark on the industry. Whether playing a comical character in the Munnabhai series or a complex antagonist in Khosla Ka Ghosla, Irani consistently delivers performances that resonate with audiences. His foray into direction with The Mehta Boys further showcases his multifaceted talent and dedication to storytelling. Presenting excerpts from an interview with the creative artiste.

DID RECONNECTING WITH RAJKUMAR HIRANI IN DUNKI FEEL LIKE A HOMECOMING?

He and I have very similar senses of humour. People believe that all forms of improvisation occur spontaneously. Yes, it can happen on the spur of the moment, but only if you are well prepared. If you are not prepared and something unexpected occurs, it may not be appropriate for the film or scene. We began our careers together in the film industry, and the conversations I had with him prior to any film were invaluable. Whether it’s 3 Idiots, Lage Raho, or even the character of an old man in Sanju, it’s pretty priceless in his eyes, and writing a script takes a long time. I like how he puts his entire being into the film.

YOU’RE SO LOVED IN HIRANI’S MUNNABHAI SERIES. LOOKING BACK, DO YOU RECALL HOW PEOPLE REACTED TO IT INITIALLY?
