As soon as this was announced celebrating this moment Boman Irani wrote on social media, “The only thing I did early in life was getting married…and having kids. The rest took its own sweet time. 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.”
The film features a highly talented cast including Boman Irani, Avinash Tiwary, Shreya Chaudhry, and Puja Sarup. The Mehta Boys is based on a father and son at odds with each other, who find themselves compelled to spend 48 hours together. The film follows their tumultuous journey and offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities often inherent in a father-son relationship.
The screening on September 20 will be followed by an engaging conversation featuring the celebrated actor, writer, director, and producer, Boman Irani, along with writer Alexander Dinelaris Jr., actors Avinash Tiwary and Shreya Chaudhry, as well as producer Danesh Irani and executive producer Ankita Batra. The next day, on September 21st, Boman Irani and Alexander Dinelaris Jr will conduct a master class on the writing process of The Mehta Boys.
