At the age of 65, he stepped into direction because he had to break the record of the oldest director. Here is some more special parts of the conversation with Boman Irani ..
Question- Why did it take so much time to get in direction?
answer- I take time for everything. I became a photographer at the age of 34. Started in theater in 35 years. At the age of 44, he appeared in Hindi films and stepped into directions at the age of 65. I had to break the record of the oldest director. There are many childhood desires, which have a time to fulfill.
Question- You have worked with many big directors. Whose direction style affects you more?
answer- I have learned something from every director. I listen to everyone’s opinion. Raj Kapoor Saheb also used to listen to everyone’s opinion. I have learned a lot from Rajkumar Hirani. They pay great attention to the script. Yash Chopra learned from how to create an atmosphere on the set. He used to make everyone feel comfortable before shooting. Subhash Kapoor is very passionate about the dialogue. Whatever I have learned from Shyam Benegal, if I get down in my life, I can become a good director.
Question- How did the film ‘The Mehta Boys’ debut?
Answer- One day writer-director Sujoy Ghosh came to my house. At that time I was ill, I had fever. He told me the idea of 3-4 stories. When he narrated the idea of this film that there is a difference of differences between the father and son and they have to spend 48 hours together. I said that I want to do this film, because it is a desire to direct it. In this way ‘The Mehta Boys’ started. However, it took me some time to learn the process of writing.
Question- Distance has started coming between not only father-son, but also between other relationships. What do you believe in the reason for this?
answer- If we had known the reason for this, there would not be a problem. People would suggest and the problem would have been solved, but what is the reason for it? We have come out to find the same. This film has been made for that. If the problem was resolved, the film would not have fun.
Question- After becoming a father, the importance of father is understood. The mother has told something about her father, which you have assimilated in your life?
answer- My father was a very good person. We have nothing but a small photo of him. I was 6 months old when my father died. My mother never let her miss her. The very good thing is that the father always wants to remain a father.
Question- How do you treat your sons?
answer– My sons are very good. I am so proud of them. My behavior may be like Shiva (the character of The Mehta Boys) towards him. By the way, I love my sons very much. There are some differences in life.
Question- Will you be active in direction even further?
answer- Of course, I should keep doing according to me.
