Boman Irani and Abhishek Bachchan in 'Bluff master' |
Say Boman Irani, and the word - awesome comes to mind. The star of 'Page 3' & 'Munnabhai MBBS' who can make you laugh endlessly with his quirky characters in masala films and at the same time, hold you spellbound with his effortless ride through myriad of emotions - from intense to frivolous as he did in an experimental film like 'Let's Talk'. Here's Boman Irani, in between his umpteen films, talking about the eagerly awaited Abhishek Bachchan-starrer, 'Bluffmaster'.
Do you bluff in the film?
No, I don't bluff in the film. I'm the only character that is as straight as can be. I play a doc who gets bluffed on by the con man, Roy (Abhishek) but he's grateful to Roy for saving his money and tells him to come to him anytime he's in trouble. 'Zukaam se leke AIDS tak I'll cure you of anything.' And one day Roy does need the doc's help. The doctor is Roy's moral shoulder and guides him like a father.
Sounds serious. Is there going to be a laugh track with your role?
A laugh track is a conscious effort to provide comic relief. I am of the belief that sometimes the most serious segments can get you laughter because of the quirks in the character. Many scenes in 'Munnabhai MBBS', for example, are serious scenes. He's angry and you laugh, I don't think he was trying to make you laugh. The moment you try to make people laugh it's not funny. In BM, the doc is the conman's conscience, but at the same time he has his little mannerisms. If you find that funny, then good. |
