Boman Irani in his recently released 'Home Delivery' |
You have worked with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Waqt' and now you are working with Abhishek Bachchan. What has been your observation of the father and son duo?
They are so similar and yet so different. Abhishek is his own man, has his own personality, and yet there so much of Mr. Bachchan in him. He's extremely well mannered, a real gentleman, and I have never seen him give an autograph in a standoffish or brusque manner. He always respects people that approach him. I find him so well brought up as a child (I don't know why I am calling him a child; he's a big man) he's so much fun, focused, and enjoying himself. Working with Mr. Bachchan is like working with an institution. Now what can I say? In Waqt we were going for each other's neck and now we are once again together in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 'Eklavya'.
How would you describe 'Bluffmaster'?
'Bluffmaster' is a charming film. It's got Abhishek who I am fond of. Ritesh is also sweet and playing a charming character. During the script reading, when I was told that Ritesh was doing the part, I said to myself, 'Ya of course, Ritesh... nobody else suits it better.' Priyanka, who again I am fond of (and worked with in ' Waqt'), is so gentle and well behaved, sweet and kind. Honestly, this is a breed that is so focused in what they do, including the director Rohan Sippy. He knows what he wants and at the same time enjoys what he's doing. I am proud to be a part of BM even though my role is that not that big, but it's a key role and has remained so even after the first draft of the script was shown to me a year and a half ago. |
