Boman Irani Reveals Why He Ditched His Usual Rehearsal Routine For Haiwaan

Irani, who is known for his meticulous preparation, said that working with Priyadarshan taught him to let go of this process. He shared, “As an actor, I often over-rehearse, I do the lines while wearing my socks, shaving, etc. When you get onto the floor, you have Mr Priyadarshan telling you, ‘Just say this one time, look into the camera, and just walk off the camera.’ Then all my preparation has come to zero.”

He further elaborated on his acting philosophy, saying that an actor’s preparation should never become rigid. He said, “If you are stuck to it and you are married to a method, then you are not a good actor. You have to prepare enough for the director to tell you, ‘turn it down or up a little bit.'”

He also said, “In a movie like, you see the craftsmanship. There is a director at work that can actually scale with simple camera movements, simple compositions. I’m not saying simple. But using the tools of the trade to tell the story and he has got some wonderful actors in it. I’ll never be able to replicate his style. I like to observe him as a human being.”

Haiwaan is produced under KVN Productions and Thespian Films by Venkat K. Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn. The film releases theatrically on 11th September 2026.
