Boman Irani on actors turning directors: It's a problem when they become an actor's director
Boman Irani made his directorial debut this year with The Mehta Boys. Post that, he appeared in Detective Sherdil last where he teamed up with Sumeet Vyas, an actor-director too. And in his next, Tanvi The Great, he is working with actor Anupam Kher in his directorial return. Boman Irani(Photo: Instagram) Ask Boman Irani what it is that actors bring in extra when they take up the director's chair and he says, 'I genuinely feel that if an actor feels that he's an actor-director and he becomes an actor's director, I think that's a problem. There's no need to tell actors how to act.' Elaborating further, he states, 'An actor only understands drama, so an actor-turned-director does not necessarily have to go and tell an actor how to act. He just needs to push him into corners and nudge, that's it. So an actor being a director, he might end up teaching people how to act and I don't think that's necessary. Actors are doing their job and we should let them do their job.' He also playfully points out that sometimes even directors love to flaunt their acting skills on set by playing out scenes with heightened emotions. 'Some directors are closet actors,' he quips. Before releasing his directorial in India, Boman took The Mehta Boys for international rounds at film festival. Does international appreciation offers validation to him as a director? 'The best thing that it does is it opens up a new audience and we speak of Indian cinema on an international stage. Otherwise what we're doing is we are keeping a particular audience in mind and preparing for that audience,' he responds. The actor-director adds, 'If you are opening your film up to the world and saying people all over the world should appreciate this film because the story resonates with everybody, you must go for it on the front foot. As for validation, yes you feel good, no doubt about it. We all have our little wants in life but to open up and find a new audience is a nicer thing. Someone who watched my film in a festival that I could not attend in Toulouse, France, met me in Cannes and she said, 'I just want to let you know that in the entire audience, 98% were French and they loved it'. That for me, is opening up a new audience who'd like to see your next film or just another Indian film. It's a great victory.'

Best stories come from a place of risk: Sumeet Vyas
Despite being one of the earliest poster boys of OTT and having transitioned to Bollywood, Sumeet Vyas says he always finds his way back to where it all began: theatre . The actor-director, who was in Bengaluru for his play Saanp Seedhi, shares his love for acting, his creative process, and the OTT boom. Excerpts: 'THEATRE IS WHERE YOU GET TO DIVE DEEP, AS AN ACTOR' Sumeet started theatre in the early 2000s and has remained actively involved. 'Theatre is the only space that truly belongs to an actor. It is where you get to indulge in your craft. If you like acting as a profession, then the stage is where you return, because that's where you get to dive deep,' he says. 'CRAFT LASTS, NOT FAME' Sumeet believes in hard work rather than viral fame. He explains, 'I don't take labels like 'web hero' or 'Bollywood actor' too seriously. They're fleeting. One year you're in the spotlight, the next you're not. Fame comes and goes. What truly lasts is one's craft and the commitment towards it.' 'GENRE DOESN'T MATTER, THE STORY DOES' From comedy to drama to action, Sumeet has worked across all formats. He tells us, 'Genre is very incidental to me. If I find the story compelling and I feel the urge to be a part of telling that story, then I say yes in a heartbeat.' 'I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO DIRECT' Sumeet recently directed an OTT series called Raat Jawaan Hai , which he considers to be a significant step in his career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Before this, Sumeet had also been directing plays. For him, the urge to direct was natural. 'I started writing for films, and every time I wrote something, I had a certain vision. I always felt the need to direct because that vision never left me,' he says. 'IN OTT, EVERYONE WANTS THE SAME FORMULA OF A STORY' Amidst the overwhelming number of OTT shows, Sumeet believes that to stand out, one needs to take a leap of faith. 'Today, everyone is looking for a formula to replicate, to gain success. Shows that truly made an impact were never following a formula. They succeeded because they broke the mould instead of fitting into one. The best stories come from a place of risk, from a willingness to leap into the unknown,' he says.
