Boman Irani on Rajkumar Hirani: “Our Creative Talks Can Go On for Hours”

Boman Irani on Rajkumar Hirani: Actor-director Boman Irani and filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani have shared more than just successful films — they’ve shared countless hours of conversations, ideas, and laughter. Over the years, their friendship has grown far beyond the sets, rooted in mutual respect, shared humour, and a deep love for storytelling.

“I drive Raju crazy sometimes. We can go on for hours just talking,” Boman revealed with a laugh. Whether it’s dissecting a scene, developing a character, or simply exchanging thoughts on life and cinema, the two often find themselves so engrossed in conversation with time slipping by unnoticed..

“He’s incredibly patient,” Boman added. “You can spend endless time with him on an idea.” Their dynamic is equal parts fun and focused. “Raju is also one of the funniest people I know — you wouldn’t expect it, but he’s hilarious. He starts laughing even before he cracks a joke,” Boman said, offering a glimpse into a side of Rajkumar Hirani not often seen by the public.

But when it comes to the work, both shift gears effortlessly. “When it comes to creating, he’s completely serious. He’s a genius — truly amazing,” Boman Irani concluded.

On the work front, Boman Irani has been receiving praise for his directorial debut, The Mehta Boys. The film, co-written by Boman and Oscar-winning writer Alex Dinelaris, marks a new chapter in his creative journey and has been lauded for its emotional depth and nuanced storytelling.
