Boman Irani on commercial cinema: 

"I don't kck commercial cinema. It's very important that people should go to cinema, have a good time, a good laugh. Without commercial cinema, I feel we may t be able to make smaller movies. This ('Jhalki') isn't a small movie, it's a big movie because impact it needs to make, it will make," Boman told reporters.

Irani on film: 

actor said "Jhalki", which deals with issue of child trafficking and child labour, doesn't necessarily have to be a blockbuster to make an impact. "We aren't saying movies like se should replace blockbusters. We are saying, both should co-exist... I do movies of all kinds. You do some for kitchen, some for soul. Doing only for kitchen or only for soul isn't good.  "This film will make an impact. It isn't that child labour will stop tomorrow. But re will be awareness. More people will kw about Kailash Satyarthi," he added.  Directed by Brahmanand Siingh and co-directed by Tanvi Jain, "Jhalki" also features Tanishtha Chatterjee, Sanjay Suri and Divya Dutta.

Boman said he wasn't trying to "imitate" Satyarthi and was, in fact, trying to understand bel Laureate to play him better. "Even if I speak in a voice, which is t as heavy as Kailash ji's, it will be fine as long as I get his soul right. All se things (voice, mannerism) are just garnishes, decorations. What's important is that I understand what he feels," he added. 
Produced by Annand Chavan, and featuring child actors Arti Jha and Goraksha Sakpal, "Jhalki" is scheduled to release on September 27.
