Earlier, The Mehta Boys was also premiered at the 15th Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF). At the film festival, Boman Irani opened up on the shooting of the film as he said, “This film started many years ago, actually, with a friend, producer, and director named Sujoy Ghosh, who wanted to cast me in a film. He came over to my house while I was running a fever and pitched me a few ideas. Among them was this one-liner: The Mehta Boys. I said I wanted to do that one because I wanted to direct it.”
