Early Life

Boman Irani was born on 1st October 1962 into a Parsi family in Mumbai. He used to reside in Nagpada Sanvi near Mumbai Central. He graduated from Mithibai College in Mumbai and later did a Polytechnic Diploma course.

After working as a room service staff at Taj Mahal Palace, Boman, later, joined his mother at their ancestral bakery shop in South Mumbai. Thereafter, he opened an ‘Uncle Chips’ franchise at Dadar, Mumbai. But due to unprofitable business, Boman shut the franchise around the year 1986.

In the year 1987, Boman Irani ventured into what he still believes is his biggest passion – photography, part from acting, of course. From the Miss India's to top models, from advertising campaigns to portfolios, Boman was better off as a professional photographer.

It was only by virtue of being a photographer that Boman Irani came in contact with the world of theatre. 

Theatre/Television

Boman Irani had always been active in theatre during his school and college days. After been trained under acting coach Hansraj Siddhia around 1981-83, Boman plunged into the world of professional theatre. Boman was introduced to theatre personality Alyque Padamsee by Shiamak Davar.

With a cameo, his earliest theatrical appearance, in Padamsee's ‘Roshni’ at the Regional Theatre in Versova, Mumbai; and a double role opposite Pearl Padamsee in television serial Family Ties in 1996, Boman had begun his wonderful acting stint.

Boman soon made a mark with the television serial ‘Mahatma Vs Gandhi’, where he played the role of Gandhi which was earlier turned down by actor Darshan Jariwala.

Television, and particularly ad films, happened by chance. A screen test for an ad film, which Boman was hesitant to do, was going on. Boman just happened to drop in to meet a friend of his. Now, due to the drop out of the selected model a day before the shoot, the ad-makers were in about testing almost anybody. Boman Irani had been one of them.

And there he was – approved! Boman's zany comic sense was an instant success and he went on to do ad films for several products such as Fanta, Limca, Bata, Polo, Smyle Cough Syrup, Kinetic Honda, Lazor shaving blades, KrackJack biscuits and many more - over a 100 TV commercials. The KrackJack ads were highly popular.

He hosted the game show 'Bollywood Ka Boss' around 2007-08 and later got on with hosting the show, 'The Pitch', which is currently being aired on UTV Bloomberg. 

With over forty plays to his credit (Boman was the lead in fifteen of them), Boman Irani, even today, is one of the most sought after theatre actors in Mumbai. Though, it took a backseat due to his foray into Bollywood in the year 2000.

Bollywood

Boman Irani’s first film was Ram Madhvani's LET’S TALK (2003). Boman played the lead character in the film, Nikhil, for which he won a lot of acclaim. He was also there in the Rahul Bose directed EVERYBODY SAY’S I’M FINE (2003) as Mr. Mittal, a cameo.

2003-2004

Boman Irani’s major Bollywood debut was in the Ram Gopal Varma film DARNA MANA HAI (2003). Boman played a hotel owner who’s out to cure the deadly addiction of smoking. Boman was highly noteworthy in the small role which was extremely significant for the film. 

Boman Irani soon shot to fame with the film MUNNA BHAI M.B.B.S (2003). Directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, Boman played the role of Dr. J. C. Asthana, an eccentric doctor. The film was highly acclaimed and Boman Irani’s performance was immensely applauded. It’s the most memorable role of Boman Irani till date. MUNNA BHAI M.B.B.S (2003) was the most critically acclaimed film of the year 2003.

Then he played a diamond dealer in BOOM (2003) that slipped away due to the film been extremely bold and sleazy. But, Boman Irani was immensely liked once again as the wacky and forgetful college principal in Farah Khan’s super-hit MAIN HOON NA (2004) starring Shahrukh Khan.

Boman was then seen in Farhan Akhtar’s commercially disappointing but critically acclaimed LAKSHYA (2004) where he played the role of Karan’s (Hrithik) father. Later he was seen in the successful Yash Chopra romantic-drama VEER ZAARA (2004) starring Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta where Boman played the role of a Pakistani politician who’s also Preity’s father in the film.

2005

In the year 2005, Boman Irani was seen in as many as nine films. Boman played, Deepak Suri, an editor of a newspaper in Madhur Bhandarkar’s national award winning film, PAGE 3 (2005), with precision. Boman’s role as the zany yet emotional dad of Priyanka Chopra in Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s successful drama, WAQT – RACE AGAINST TIME (2005), starring Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, and Shefali Shah, was very well received. 

In MY WIFE’S MURDER (2005), Boman played a police inspector, Tejpal Randhawa, who’s assigned to investigate the case of a dead woman who actually is the ‘missing’ wife of Anil Kapoor in the film. His crazy-minister’s act in Anees Bazmee’s blockbuster comedy NO ENTRY (2005) which starred a plethora of A-list actors including Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Lara Dutta, Bipasha Basu, Celina Jaitley and Esha Deol, was a highpoint. 

His next appearance in the film KAL YESTERDAY AND TOMMOROW (2005) and even in Dev Anand’s MR. PRIME MINISTER (2005) didn’t matter as the films were blanked out by the audience. Even his apt portrayal of the ‘simple minded-childlike but optimistic’ pizza delivery boy in Sujoy Ghosh’s HOME DELIVERY (2005), starring Vivek Oberoi, went vain as the film failed miserably.

He played a public prosecutor well enough in the critically acclaimed MAINE GANDHI KO NAHIN MARA (2005), but it was the veteran Anupam Kher who stole the show with his stellar performance. Yet, Boman was right there; even in Rohan Sippy’s averagely successful film, BLUFFMASTER (2005), where he played Dr. Bhalerao who facilitates in leading the central character, Abhishek Bachchan, into a semblance of realty.

2006

In the English language film, BEING CYRUS (2006), starring Saif Ali Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia, Simone Singh, Boman Irani performed a class act. His grumpy negative character of Farokh Sethna in this psychological drama revolving around a dysfunctional Parsi family stood out.

SHAADI SE PEHLE (2006), PYARE MOHAN (2006) and I SEE YOU (2006) – all of which he starred in - failed at the Box-Office. But, 2006 was a phenomenal year for Boman Irani, as his portrayal of Lucky Singh, in the follow-up to his MUNNA BHAI MBBS (2003) success - LAGE RAHO MUNNA BHAI (2006) – was another highly applauded act. A Sardar property dealer who’s outwardly hard but subtly soft within - Boman perfectly, subtly slipped into the character. The film was a very huge success commercially and critically as well and became a trendsetter of sorts. Same for his portrayal of Kishen Khurana, a diabolic property dealer in Delhi, in Dibakar Banerjee national award winning film of, KHOSLA KA GHOSLA (2006). Boman was instrumental for this small-budgeted film’s success. Even his negative character of Dsilva/Vardhan in Farhan Akhtar’s DON – THE CHASE BEGINS AGAIN (2006), starring Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, was very well received and the film was a huge hit.

2007

In 2007, Boman Irani starred in four Bollywood films and also a short film. In the short film POSITIVE, which was about HIV/AIDS awareness, Boman was cast opposite Shabana Azmi. POSITIVE was directed by Farhan Akhtar. 

In Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s EKLAVYA: THE ROYAL GUARD (2007), Boman played a Patriarch with negative shades. This movie was chosen as India's official entry to the Oscars for the Best Foreign Film for the year 2007, but was a commercial failure. In HONEYMOON TRAVELS PVT. LTD. (2007), produced by Farhan Akhtar and directed by debutante Reema Kagti, Boman starred in this multi-starrer comedy-drama opposite Shabana Azmi. The film was an average success.

In Sajid Khan’s HEYY BABYY (2007), Boman Irani plays the emotional father of Vidya Balan's character. Starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan, HEYY BABYY (2007) was one of the biggest hits of the year 2007. While in DHAN DHANA DHAN GOAL (2007), starring John Abraham, Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi, Boman played the role of a football coach who helps a local football club in England to fight against all odds. The film was met with a tepid response.

In 2008, Boman Irani appeared in as many as eight films of which MAHARATHI (2008), RISHTON KI MACHINE (2008) and WOODSTOCK VILLA (2008) were completely washed out. While LOVE STORY (2008), starring Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra; and Subhash Ghai’s YUVVRAAJ (2008), starring big names like Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, and Zayed Khan – were damp squibs.

Boman Irani found warm-heartening success in Onir’s SORRY BHAI (2008), starring Sanjay Suri, Sharman Joshi, Chitrangada Singh, where Boman played the role of a cheery father of Sanjay Suri’s character who’s about to get married to Chitrangada Singh.
