Here’s what she said.Mira Nair on offering A Suitable Boy to Zohran MamdaniMira was asked if she could convince Zohran to act in one of her films, to which she replied, “No, no. I mean, I literally offered him the role of the suitable boy – the main role in A Suitable Boy. And again, like many of my things, if I need an actor to read opposite an actress or something, and if he’s home, he’s always been willing. But for A Suitable Boy – I really wanted him to play that role. And he didn’t.”In fact, Mira says, Zohran even told her that a ‘lot of people die’ to get such offers, but he doesn’t. She also commented on how he didn’t ‘feel the need’ to be an actor but had the ability to ‘actually make joy’. “We threw a shirt on him for Queen of Katwe – besides the music he did – but yes, there is a shot where he plays a kid in their film, briefly. Otherwise, no. Now there’s no chance. He never wanted to, but I’d love it if he did. I’d love it,” she said.About A Suitable BoyFor the unversed, Ishaan played Maan Kapoor in A Suitable Boy, who falls for the older Saeeda Bai, played by Tabu. The story follows the efforts of a family to find a ‘suitable boy’ for Lata Mehra, played by Tanya Maniktala. Eventually, Lata finds it in Namit Das’ Haresh Khanna. The storyline features more than 110 characters and was the first BBC period-drama series to have a non-white cast.
