Sharing a powerful moment from the sets, Boman posted a picture of his son standing beside a film camera, calling the shots as a director. Along with the image and the trailer, he wrote a touching caption:
"There’s a unique thrill in hearing your child say ‘Action’. On July 25, #SarZameen arrives on Jio Hotstar – my son’s first film as director and my greatest joy as a parent (sic)”.
The post not only captured the emotional significance of the moment but also celebrated Kayoze’s leap into filmmaking.
Kayoze Irani’s Transition Behind the Camera
Sarzameen marks a pivotal moment in Kayoze Irani’s career as he transitions from acting to directing a full-length feature film. The project is his first as a director, showcasing a generational evolution in storytelling within the Irani family. The film stars Ibrahim Ali Khan, Kajol, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, and is set to premiere on JioCinema on July 25.

The makers have opted for a direct-to-streaming release for Sarzameen, a strategic move after Ibrahim Ali Khan’s acting debut Nadaaniyan failed to impress both critics and audiences. Despite the setback, Sarzameen offers a fresh opportunity to showcase Ibrahim’s potential alongside seasoned actors.

Interestingly, Boman Irani made his own directorial debut recently with The Mehta Boys, a drama that explores a complex father-son relationship.
