My directorial debut “The Mehta Boys” took not just a sweet, maybe even a sweeter amount of time. Life is a race” is a crock of bull, said by whoever the hell of an old irritating man that was. So, here we are, and when it finally happens, it shouldn’t be just sweet…it should be spectacular!!! This film may have taken years, but it has my heart thumping with joy and anticipation.

A World Premiere! In Chicago! My family, my cast, my producers, and my friends are all going to be there to hold my happy hand for the biggest night since my wedding, the birth of my kids, my first appearance on stage, my first movie, my first award, my first autograph, my first… I can go on and on…which brings me to the realisation that I’m glad it took all this time. If you’ve read this far, thank you so much for enduring my childlike joy. With The Mehta Boys, Boman Irani steps into the shoes of director, producer, and writer, showcasing his versatility and dedication to the project. The film also stars Avinash Tiwary, Shreya Chaudhry, Puja Sarup and is set to release soon on Amazon Prime Video.
