BOMAN IRANIThere’s a great charm in theatre; I enjoyed doing it for twelve years and did lots of plays. At this chapter of my life.
BOMAN IRANII usually go with roles that I find entertaining. But every once in a while, there comes along a film that has an important social message. As actors, we have a certain responsibility toward our audience.
BOMAN IRANIFor me, a director is a director immaterial of the gender. At the end of the day, the audience is only interested in watching a good film.
BOMAN IRANII still reject lead roles, as I don’t accept any role if I don’t find it challenging enough. I am very careful while making selections.
BOMAN IRANII’m not a hero or a superstar. I’m an everyday guy. I feel happy when children approach me. I feel that something good is happening in life when little kids recognise me.
BOMAN IRANII bask in the affection I get on the streets. I recently went into the kitchen of a restaurant to meet the cooks. They were people I didn’t know, but what a joy it was meet them! Such experiences wouldn’t happen if I were doing only one kind of cinema.

BOMAN IRANII don’t have a father, but my kids tell me every day that they love me… even when I am not in my best mood.
BOMAN IRANII was overjoyed when I was offered the title role in ‘Well Done Abba.’ I was ready for the role even before I heard the story because you don’t ask questions when it is Shyam Benegal’s film. It is the chance of a lifetime.
