The latest addition to the star cast of Boman Irani is the latest addition to Omung Kumar's 'PM Narendra Modi'. The 59 year old will play the role of business tycoon Ratan Tata in the biopic. “I have always received comments no social media that I resemble Mr Ratan Tata. I always thought the day the character comes along, I will be more then happy toplay it. So when Omung, Sandip and Vivek called me for the role, I immediately agreed to do it. We have already shot my part and it went very well,” Boman said.
Talking about Vivek Oberoi, who will play the role of Narendra Modi, Boman said, “I must say that Vivek has worked really hard to get where he has gotten with the character. It was a pleasure to see him maturing into an artist who takes on such a difficult role. He has done it with great maturity and homework.” Producer Sandip Ssingh said, “Boman and I have worked together earlier in 'Shireen Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi'. In spite of being so busy with his own directorial venture and prior commitments, as soon as we reached out to him, he agreed. He is an actor who motivates people and rehearses with his co-actors at least 50 times. I am extremely happy and proud that he is a part of this film.”
