The veteran actor, who recently marked a successful directorial debut with the family drama The Mehta Boys, has officially confirmed that he is already developing his second feature film as a director.
Irani made his leap into direction at the age of 65 with The Mehta Boys, which premiered earlier this year on a popular streaming platform and was praised for its heartfelt and sensitive portrayal of a father-son relationship. Having found success in this new role, the actor-turned-director is now keen to explore entirely different narrative territory.
In a recent interview, Boman Irani revealed his conscious decision to shift genres for his next project. He stated, “I’ve made a conscious decision after directing a family drama, I’m going to pick a completely different genre.” He emphasized his desire not to repeat his work, saying, “Just because people liked the first one…I don’t think I can stick to the same genre. I want to enjoy different worlds of cinema.”
Shared Passion and Dream Collaborations
2025 has been a special year for the Irani family, as Boman’s son, Kayoze Irani, also made his directorial debut with the film Sarzameen. The senior Irani shared that the two now have ongoing conversations about the challenges and joys of their new filmmaking journeys, acknowledging that “Making a movie is not easy.” He also expressed his continuing enjoyment in his role as a mentor, teaching and guiding aspiring writers within the industry.
When asked about his dream wishlist of actors to direct in the future, Irani humbly mentioned that it’s hard to pick just a few but revealed his ultimate aspiration: directing Amitabh Bachchan. He admitted it would be a “memorable experience” and a moment of great pride to have the opportunity to guide the iconic star through a scene.
