Boman Irani’s The Mehta Boys makes a splash with seven Filmfare OTT nominations

Actor-director Boman Irani couldn’t have asked for a more heartwarming milestone to mark his long-cherished leap into direction. The Mehta Boys, his debut film as a director, has secured seven major nominations at the Filmfare OTT Awards, making this moment a truly special celebration for him and his entire team.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Boman wrote,

“Just because I’ve been an actor for 30–35 years doesn’t mean I have a right to become a director and get a free pass. Debutants have to struggle — and that’s important. There are no shortcuts and no silver bullets.”

The Mehta Boys has been acknowledged across seven key categories — Best Director, Best Film, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Story, Best Background Music, and Best Cinematography.
