No matter what some filmmakers might say, market trends have nothing to do with a movie’s success. Quality does. That’s the principle Boman Irani has kept in mind as he writes his second directorial venture after The Mehta Boys (2025).
“Telling a good story than a genre story [is important]. People weren’t sure a father-son story like [The Mehta Boys] would work. It might not have given the numbers, but it found an audience because it resonated as a story,” stated Irani.
