At the esteemed 15th Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF) in September 2024, The Mehta Boys had its world premiere. It went on to win the Best Feature Film Award at the festival. In October of the same year, at the International Film Festival of South Asia in Toronto, Boman Irani was named Best Actor. Both the Indian Film Festival Berlin in January 2025 and the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, India, in November 2024 were the movie's Asian premieres.
Written, acted, directed, and produced by Boman Irani, The Mehta Boys is an extremely personal journey for the actor-filmmaker. An emotionally fraught and intricate interplay exists in the bond between a father and son. His aim in creating this film was to examine how the passage of time, miscommunications, and unresolved issues can weaken the relationship between two individuals who hold deep affection for each other. This is a tale that has haunted Irani for a long time, and he is pleased to finally share it with Prime Video viewers in India and throughout the world. The skilled actors have his utmost gratitude for giving the drama a richer, more real feel through their performances.
Avinash Tiwary portrays Boman Irani's son Amay as a complex character, torn between familial devotion and personal animosity. External forces unexpectedly thrust him into a powerful and life-altering confrontation with his father. It was both a challenge and an honour to portray this journey for Tiwary. He feels privileged to be a part of a film that deals with universally accessible issues like family unity and forgiveness. Viewers from all over the globe, not just in India, will adore and relate to this touching tale of friendship and love.
