Boman Irani set to step into production arena

Actor Boman Irani has invited "Birdman" screenwriter Alexander Dinelaris to India to launch his production house on Thursday. After making a mark in Bollywood with his acting skills, Boman is all set to step into production.

"We are the ever-evolving industry and there is a lot that is changing in the cinema as we speak. I just want to make sure that the foundation on which this industry is built gets stronger every day," Boman said in a statement. "By inviting celebrated writer Alexander Dinelaris to launch my production house and making him share his experience with us is just a first step towards the big aim," he added.

Instead of the usual gala party that takes place after any launch event, Boman has opted for a very special way to celebrate the new start. He has arranged for a day-long workshop with Dinelaris. He has invited writers, directors and students from filmmaking schools to be a part of the workshop.
