Through his career spanning over two decades, Boman Irani has worked with some of the best directors in the Hindi film industry. And, every one of them has taught him something. “While on a film set, I’d spend time with them to understand why they choose to shoot a particular scene before others, or why the set was built in a certain way. From Raju Hirani to Raj & DK, they have all taught me something, whether it’s a filmmaking technique or people management,” says Irani, who after two decades in front of the camera made his directorial debut with The Mehta Boys recently.
