‘It’s a special film for me despite bit-size role’

Actor Boman Irani, who has been part of all of Rajkumar Hirani’s films, has a small part to play in the director’s latest offering PK. But he says the movie is ‘special’ for him as PK will have a social impact.

“In PK, I play the head of a news channel and it is important in the film because it’s a news network that covers most of what happens in the life of the character PK, after a certain point in film,” Boman told IANS.

“I know I’m working in a film (‘PK’), which will have some great social impact on this country...cinematic impact, social impact...social change,” he said. Boman also pointed out at how all of Hirani’s films, like Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Lage Raho Munna Bhai and 3 Idiots, have been about social change. “(They offer a) different way of thinking, modern in a traditional sense...I enjoyed every single moment working with him (Hirani) and I would had done anything in the film and he knows it.

“PK is a very special film for me and I’m happy to have done it. It’s not the biggest role, in fact it is the smallest role, but that shouldn’t matter ever,” he added.
