Boman Irani is open to the idea of going to Hollywood to explore a different world of acting.

Actor Boman Irani is open to the idea of going to Hollywood to explore a “different world of acting” — albeit only when a “substantial” opportunity comes knocking at his door. A wave of Indian talent with names like Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur, Anupam Kher and Deepika Padukone, has hit foreign shores. While Boman, 56, is not averse to the idea of working in the west, he says he won’t jump onto the bandwagon with a run-of-the-mill role.

“If something substantial comes my way, I will (explore Hollywood). An actor will always like to explore different mediums, different styles of acting and different world of acting,” Boman told IANS over the phone from Mumbai. “If something comes, sure enough. If not, then I am content in whatever I do,” he added.

The actor, who is the brand ambassador for Ambi Pur India and is busy urging people to take a Smelfie Challenge to rid their homes of odour, is known for films like Happy New Year, Housefull 3, Student of the Year and 3 Idiots.

As far as Bollywood is concerned, Boman says he is going through a few projects, but refrains from spilling any information about them. He said: “There are three projects but I have not signed for it. So, it will be stupid of me to mention.”

Boman Irani is enjoying being a grandfather, and says instead of feeling old he “feels young at heart”. The actor, who is the brand ambassador for Ambi Pur India, shared the news of becoming grandfather via Twitter after his son Danesh and daughter-in-law Reah welcomed their first child last month.

“A lot of people ask me ‘how does it feel to be a grand-dad’. I don’t know what to say … What am I supposed to say that ‘I am feeling a little older’, ‘my beard has gone longer’ or do I have to sound wiser or have to stop being naughty or being my jovial self,” Boman told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
