Also because, that story is happening in Ireland. I don’t want to go into the shoot feeling, ‘Oh the other actor did it fantastically! How am I supposed to top that?’ So, I choose to rely on my instincts. I made a conscious decision not to do that. With remakes and adaptions, actors usually don’t prefer to check out the original lest it would influence their acting.

Masoom is a remake of the Irish series Blood. So, I just read the first two pages and called up Gurmeet Singh. She has a flat tyre – so we know her journey was not an easy one. Since the girl is distraught, we know something’s brewing. But it conveys a lot of things to me without telling me a lot of things. A guy will fix your car and bring it home’. A cop comes up to her and asks, ‘What happened? Oh, aren’t you Balraj Kapoor’s daughter?’ She replies ‘Yes.’ And he says, ‘Let me take you on my bike. With this script, the opening was simple. Next, I look at how you are telling me the story.

I tell my screenwriting students that your opening page should look professional – the typing, the spacing, the formatting… all these matter. The first few pages are enough to know if I am hooked on to it or not. Whatever the duration, you need to be economical in the way you are projecting a character. However, just because there is more time doesn’t mean you can take things easy. You can see the full-fledged journey of a character. Having said that, I am excited for Masoom because it is my first series, which allows for more screentime. That’s all I am concentrating on at that point of time. All I know is that I have to bring life to a character. While acting, you are not thinking if it is going to be shown on a big screen or on someone’s phone. In both cases, there’s a camera, a unit, lights, and some confusion. What is the difference between acting in a series as compared to a film? For now, however, Boman is excited about Masoon. These apart, he is also writing and directing his own film. He will also be seen in an Agatha Christie-like whodunnit murder mystery shot. He will also be seen in a Sooraj Barjatya film, Uunchai, alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher and Danny Denzongpa.

He has finished shooting his portions for Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan. Just a few weeks ago, the Ranveer Singh-starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar, in which he played a major role, was released. Despite his preference for being lazy, Boman’s a busy man even at this age. But in Masoom’s case, I had a nice break after a project,” he says. Somehow, the dates didn’t quite work out. “I got many offers which were pretty good. Unsurprisingly, this was not the first web series script he was offered. In Masoom, created by Gurmeet Singh, he plays Balraj Kapoor, a well-connected doctor who seems to be holding on to some dark family secrets. For, every time he signs up to play a new role, he feels like entering a whole new world. The word debut, usually reserved for newbies, somehow does not suit this veteran of over 200 films.
