Did you know Boman Irani performed his own stunts in The Raja Saab? Speaking at a pre-release event ahead of the film's release, the 66-year-old actor opened up about his decision to take on the action himself.
Boman Irani revealed that watching his body double perform daring stunts inspired him to give it a shot. Feeling confident, he shared his willingness with director Maruthi. Recalling the moment, he said, "Maruthi asked, 'Are you sure, sir?' I said yes. Kya hi hoga, ek do scratches lagenge zyada se zyada (What's the worst that could happen? I might get a scratch or two at most)," he shared.
The veteran actor further reflected on his approach to fear and risk, adding, "Mera jo experience hai, ye hai ki darne se achchha hai karne se. What's the point of being afraid? Try toh karo. (My experience says it's better to try than to be afraid. What's the point of being scared? Just try.)"
