During his schooling days, Boman Irani would watch films at the Alexander Cinema every day. This was a habit which was further encouraged by his mother who would ask him to watch movies to specifically note their art and cinematography. While he was working at Taj, the actor bought a camera for himself using the tips which he used to receive at Taj. He used to sports’ pictures which he used to sell for 20-30 rupees.
The 3 Idiots actor continued to be a photographer and soon attended the World Boxing Championship to secure a meeting with Adajania. Adajania was the then president of the Olympic Boxing Association. Irani requested him to allow him to become the official photographer of the World Championship. However, Adjania refused his proposal so the actor offered to work at his office for free for a span of six months, and as compensation, he would want to cover the event.
Meanwhile, he reportedly turned into a photographer for the Norwegian boxing crew and shot photographs that they required of Ole Klemetsen. Irani then reportedly started charging international quotes and took the required photographs with his K-1000.
Boman will next be seen in multiple movies titled Housefull 4, Made in China, '83, Hero, and Pagalpanti.
