The Mehta Boys: Heres what Shreya Chaudhry thinks Boman Irani does best

Shreya said, “I think Zara is a very beautifully written character. It’s written by Boman sir. We talk about the male gaze and female directors writing beautiful male characters. I think Boman sir writes beautiful female characters.” She also opened up on the differences between her character and that of Puja Sarup’s character in the film. However, Shreya mentioned that both the female characters are unique in their own ways.

She further added, “Boman sir told me that to be empowered, you don’t have to be necessarily aggressive. You can be gentle and be empowering.”

Speaking further, Boman Irani spoke about bringing a father-son story to the screens without any glorification. “I think that there are some beautiful father-son stories made. I wanted to touch upon the aspect of two guys who aren’t being really mean to each other but are messing it up every time even when they are trying to be nice to each other. That’s the cornerstone of all miscommunication. I just wanted to play on that factor of miscommunication. You make an attempt, you set something in and something else goes downhill. It has got to do with the male ego. You see the male ego grazing its ugly head in every scene,” he added.
