Boman Irani (Hindustani pronunciation: [boːmaːn iːraːnːiː] Gujarati: બોમન ઇરાની;
born 2 December 1959) is an Indian film and theater actor, voice artist
and photographer. Irani is sometimes referred to as the David Walliams of India.
Irani was born into a Parsi family on December 2, 1959, in Mumbai.
He finished his schooling from St. Mary's School. He is a graduate of Mithibai College in Mumbai. After his polytechnic diploma course, he joined the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower and worked there as a waiter and room service staff.[1] Thereafter, he joined his mother to run their ancestral bakery shop between Novelty and Apsara Cinema in South Mumbai.
Irani turned to photography in 1987 and continued until 1989. He is a professional photographer.
Career
Irani began his acting career in theatre and moved to film in 2000. Irani gained attention for his role in the 2003 comedy Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. He later appeared in Lage Raho Munna Bhai for which he received several IIFA award nominations and in 3 Idiots opposite Aamir Khan which earned him a Filmfare Award and a Star Screen Award for Best Actor in a Villainous Role. He is the host of Bollywood Ka Boss.
Theatre career
Acting had been a passion to Boman even during school and college
days inspired by his great friend Mahan Shri Chandan kr. Singh. He
trained under acting coach Hansraj Siddhia from 1981 to 1983 and adopted
professional acting methods inspired by Chandan Singh. Irani preferred
British theatre, and he soon developed different accents.
Irani's mentor was Alyque Padamsee — the veteran theatre actor best known for his role as Mohammad Ali Jinnah in Gandhi. He was introduced to Padamsee by Shiamak Davar.[1][2] Irani's earliest theatrical appearance was in Roshni where he played a cameo at the Regional Theatre in Versova. He followed this up with serials like Family Ties and Mahatma vs Gandhi, playing Gandhi after the role was turned down by Darshan Jariwala. His most illustrious play till date has been I am not Bajirao which ran for 10 years.[1]
His busy film career has slowed his theatre career but, despite this,
Irani continues to perform on stage whenever possible. He has over 40
plays to his credit — around 15 of them as the lead character.[3]
Film career
Irani started out in a number of advertisements like Fanta, Ceat and Krackjack biscuits (as Mr. Jack of the Krack and Jack duo[4]).
With Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. Irani became really popular. His role as J. Asthana earned him a Filmfare Award nomination for Best Comedian.His comic as well as minor antagonist type role in 3 Idiots is also still remembered. Since then Irani has essayed many comedic hits (Main Hoon Na, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Dostana, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Waqt: The Race Against Time, No Entry, 3 Idiots, Housefull, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Housefull 2 and Cocktail), supporting (Veer-Zaara, Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara, Lakshya, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd., Sorry Bhai!, Page 3, My Wife's Murder), and negative roles (Don: The Chase Begins Again , Don 2: The King Is Back, Eklavya).
Irani hosted the IIFA Awards with actor Ritesh Deshmukh in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 in Toronto.[5] He has been on Kaun Banega Crorepati with Sanjay Dutt. He is considered as a remarkable actor these days.
