"I would play a cop as a child", says Boman on 'Don'
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,September 26 2006]
Amongst all the actors who get an opportunity to recreate the 'Don' magic, Boman Irani in the role of the cop Desilva is excited too.
He says, "As a child, I would play cops and robbers and dress up like cowboys. I remember, the guns we used were terrible, theyÂll give blisters on your fingers and then today after so many years being a part of Don was like getting a chance to live your childhood dream.
Ritesh and Farhan told me they want me to play Desilva, the role which was originally played by Iftiqar sahab and the next thing I recall is me running on the treadmill, putting myself on a strict diet and doing everything possible to look fit for the part. I had married the character because after all these years of having being attached with comedy, Desilva was a serious role. It surely was a challenge."
