Boman Irani Pens Heartfelt Note As The Mehta Boys Is Set To Screen At CSAFF
Sharing the update, Prime Video wrote, “Boys played well, indeed 😊 The Mehta Boys premieres as the Opening Film of the Chicago South Asian Film Festival!”
To celebrate this milestone, Irani shared his excitement in the comment section. He wrote, “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!”
He added, “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. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏”
