Boman Irani speaks about The Mehta Boys and how writing shaped him as an actor
Boman Irani is an anomaly when it comes to age. He made his film acting debut at 42 and directed his first film at 65. Speaking of the screening of his directorial debut, The Mehta Boys, at Mumbai's Regal Theatre, Irani says, "It was my Cinema Paradiso moment. I pointed out the seats where I sat and watched films such as Sound of Music, Von Ryan's Express, Kramer vs. Kramer, Gandhi, and Anne of the Thousand Days. I gave a shout-out to Aslam Bhai, the projectionist who has been there for 53 years. It was so beautiful." He says, his voice choked with a hint of emotion.
