Father-son duo Boman and Kayoze Irani will be seen playing Bihari characters named Full Pant and Half Pant in The Legend of Michael Mishra. The two were snapped on set shooting for the last portion on their first film together The Legend of Michael Mishra, produced by Shareen Mantri Kedia and Kishor Arora of Eye Candy Films, directed by Manish Jha and presented by Wave Cinemas. The film also stars Arshad Warsi, who plays the quirky title role and Aditi Rao Hydari who's paired opposite Arshad.
Director Manish Jha reveals that they are not playing baap-beta on screen and have pivotal roles. "Both father and son have full-fledged roles and the chemistry has to be seen to be believed. When I was editing the film, I realized it's a case of the perfect casting," says Jha.
When asked about casting the father and son, director Manish Jha reveals, "I couldn't sleep the night before I was to give a script narration to Boman," admits Manish. "But my apprehensions disappeared once I met him. Despite being an established actor, he's extremely down-to-earth."
The son, he says, is a brilliant actor too. "I saw him in Student Of The Year and knew he fitted the part and cast him without an audition," says Jha.
Talking about his experience of directing the duo, the filmmaker reveals that they got along like a house on fire. "There was never a dull moment on the sets when Boman and Kayoze were there together. The rough cut is testimony to the amount of fun we've had," smiles Jha who is currently editing the film.
