"Acting is way of convincing lie to the people": Boman Irani

Veteran actor Boman Irani recently said, “Acting is a lie and the question is how convincing that lie is."You have to make a character that makes people say 'I know that guy'," he added. "I cannot expect every person to like a content-driven film. There has to be someone to entertain them as well," the veteran further said.

Answering a question about the current OTT fixation, Irani said, "I miss theatres but OTT cannot be dubbed the new normal. India has done a great job in curbing the virus but this can't go on forever."

The Munna Bhai MBBS actor went on to talk about his choice of roles.

"I want to be a part of truthful stories.  The actor added that he's proud of his less-serious films.

"I cannot expect every person to like a content-driven film. There has to be someone to entertain them as well. Putting a smile on someone's face is a noble job. My mom tells me that God has blessed me with talent, but not for a minute, must I think that the talent has anything to do with proving to the rest of the world that I am a good actor. My job is to bring joy to the people," Irani said.
