'I am thankful to Paresh Rawal'

Boman Irani has turned in one brilliant performance after another. And his characters have been quite peculiar as well. From his earlier films like Darna Mana Hai, Munnabhai series and Main Hoon Na to this Friday's release, Fruit n Nut, Boman seems to know how to entertain.

Sitting in front of him for this interview, I found Boman to be quite the gentleman to talk to as well. In his friendly manner, Boman shared his nutty experiences on the sets of Fruit n Nut with Nithya Ramani.

The film incidentally, is Kunal Vijaykar's directorial debut, and also stars Cyrus Broacha, Dia Mirza and Mahesh Manjrekar.

What is Fruit n Nut about?

It is impossible to describe the film and even more impossible to act in it! The film is about four characters, whose stories run parallel.

I play an old man, who thinks he's the Maharaja of Bombay, and wants his land back. He is whimsical and doesn't know what he is saying. It was very confusing to act like a terrorist. He calls for two terrorists to knock off Cyrus (Broacha).

We have made a film that we enjoyed and want people to enjoy it too.

'I never took my career seriously'

Zayed Khan has been a part of several big films like Main Hoon Na, Dus and Yuvraaj but success has always eluded him, as an actor.

He hopes that all that will change with Blue, this Diwali's big release. Starring Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta with cameos from Katrina Kaif and Kylie Minogue, the film is directed by first-timer Anthony D'Souza.

Zayed talks to Nithya Ramani about his experience of working with the cast and where he thinks his career is taking him.

What is Blue about?

It is an underwater adventure film. It is about a few people, who go in search of treasure. Since it is an adventure thriller, I can't say anything more about the film. You must go and watch it.
