Boman’s projects
Boman Irani is stepping into the realm of direction, marking his directorial debut with a project he has personally written. Notably, he will also take on a starring role in this venture.
Renowned for his impeccable comic timing, Boman has portrayed various memorable characters, with one of his most popular roles being Viru ‘Virus’ Sahastrabuddhe, the strict and authoritarian college director in favor of a competitive and cutthroat education system.
In his recent appearance in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Dunki,’ directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Boman played the character Geetendar ‘Geetu’ Gulati, an English teacher. The film also featured Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover in pivotal roles.
