Boman Irani & Dia Mirza Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Lage Raho Munna Bhai; the 2010s to Love Breakups Zindagi. Boman Irani acted in every film; Dia Mirza acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Boman Irani was the one who suggested Dia Mirza for the role of his on-screen wife in 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' (2006). He had just worked with her in a commercial and told Rajkumar Hirani she'd be perfect. Hirani agreed without a second audition.
• On the set of 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.' (2007), Boman and Dia would rehearse their scenes in a corner before every take. He'd deliberately mess up his lines to make her laugh, and she'd throw back improvised comebacks. The director, Reema Kagti, said their banter was so sharp she kept the camera rolling even after 'cut'.
• After 'Fruit and Nut' (2009) bombed, Boman called Dia and said, 'We need to do a film that people actually watch.' She laughed and said, 'Or we just do one where we don't play husband-wife.' They never played a couple again after that film.
• Dia Mirza once said about Boman: 'He is the only co-star who has seen me cry on set and still made me laugh in the next shot. That's a superpower.' She said this during a promotional interview for 'Love Breakups Zindagi' (2011).
• Their pairing in 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' (2006) directly led to Boman being cast as the villain in 'Don 2' (2011). Farhan Akhtar saw their scenes together and told Boman, 'You can play menace with a smile. That's rare.' Dia never got a similar callback from that film.
