Boman Irani to play Ranveer’s dad in YRF’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar!

Ranveer Singh starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar is definitely one of the most anticipated films of 2020! This YRF entertainer with a social message has been hailed as ‘a miracle script’ by Ranveer and the film’s casting is giving all the right signals that the audience can expect powerful performances in it. Joining the cast is the incredibly talented actor Boman Irani, who is set to play the role of Ranveer’s dad in the film!

Confirming the news, Maneesh Sharma, who has been homegrown by YRF to become a producer now, says, “Boman sir’s body of work loudly speaks for his incredible acting prowess and we are thrilled and honoured to have him in our film. Boman sir is playing Ranveer’s father in the film and their on-screen camaraderie is something to watch out for.”

Maneesh feels the stalwart actor’s presence in the film adds a lot of credibility to the film. “Boman sir’s presence is invaluable as he livens up every scene with his own and very unique touch that is completely unmatched,” he says.

A versatile actor who has won tremendous acclaim, Boman, calls the script of Jayeshbhai Jordaar ‘rare’! He says, “Jayeshbhai Jordaar is a rare script that tells a brilliant, moving story. For me, Divyang is a writer and director to watch out for and talent like him comes once in many, many years. He has written something exceptionally thought provoking that delivers a powerful message in the most entertaining and humorous manner. It is a pleasure to collaborate with YRF on this special project that I’m sure will touch the hearts of audience across our country.”

Boman is again teaming up with Ranveer after 83 and he hails the young superstar as a ‘powerhouse performer’. He says, “Working with Ranveer is always fun. He is a powerhouse performer who gives his all in every scene and as an artist, it is amazing to creatively collaborate with such people. I’m playing his father in the film and we have a very interesting relationship for people to find out when they see the film.”

Directed by debutant writer-director Divyang Thakkar, Jayeshbhai Jordaar is a humourous entertainer set in Gujarat and Ranveer will be seen playing the role of a Gujarati man. In the first look that was released by YRF which broke the internet, the superstar was seen to have visibly transformed himself again, shedding many kilos and looked unrecognisable as a Gujarati man. Ranveer as Jayeshbhai is the unlikely hero who will be seen championing the cause of women empowerment.
