"I am not very comfortable. It was for the character hadit not been for the character, I would have become comfortabledoing this kind of a film. It is good that I am uncomfortableas it is good for the character. Had the character meant to becomfortable may be I would have practiced more with Farah inprivate," Boman told PTI.
The film is about two 40-year-olds, played by Boman andFarah, who fall in love with each other.
"Our approach towards romance was all the more immature.As we don't know how one will romance at the age of 45 like dowe hold hands, sent messages or flowers or other things. Thefalling in love is clumsy, immature, catching and holdinghands is done in clumsy, bumbling fashion," he said.
The film traces the journey of Farhad Pastakiya (Boman),a 45-year-old Parsi bachelor working as lingerie salesman whofalls in love with Shirin Fugawala (Farah), 40-year-old,bubbly, straightforward woman.
But all hell breaks loose as Farhad's mother Nargisrealises that her son's dream girl is her sworn enemy.
Talking about his character, Boman said, "I am playing acharacter of 45-year-old man, who is still a virgin. He doesnot know much how to behave with woman and all. The casting isunusual as Farah is there on board. It was easier to fall inlove with Farah than to fall in love with a younger girl."
Boman was also all praise for his co-star and saidthat her willingness to learn things on the set surprised him.
"Farah is a very intelligent person. She knows lot ofthings about cinema, her sense of understanding cinema is verygood. There is certain intelligence of her in acting, herunderstanding of cinema and that she is inherently funny inreal life, so all these things somehow worked for her," Bomansaid.
"She did not come with a baggage of being an acechoreographer-director. She was ready to learn things," hesaid.
The film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali's sister, BelaSehgal, releases on August 24.
