Boman Irani's personal connection to the film

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.
