The film has already made a mark on the global film circuit, premiering at the prestigious 15th Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF) in September 2024, where it won the Best Feature Film Award. Boman Irani also won the Best Actor award at the International Film Festival of South Asia in Toronto in October 2024.

Reflecting on his experience as a director, Boman Irani shared, “Bringing The Mehta Boys to life has been an immensely rewarding journey. As an actor, I’ve always been fascinated by storytelling, and this project allowed me to explore a completely new creative path as a filmmaker. The relationship between a parent and child has always intrigued me – it’s raw, relatable, and deeply human. I’m thrilled to share this story with audiences, thanks to the incredible team and Prime Video’s support.”
The Mehta Boys will be available for streaming on Prime Video starting February 7.
