Nariman A. Irani (? – 10 December 1977) was a

Don film franchise.[1][2]

As a cinematographer he is known for films including Talash, Saraswatichandra and

Filmfare Award for Best Cinematographer in the same year.[6]

Irani, while working on Chhailla Babu as a cinematographer, decided to borrow most of the plot of Chhailla Babu and shared a modified story idea to Chandra Barot, who made the new modified story as the 1978 film Don. While Don was still under production he suffered a serious hip bone injury when, after a sudden cloudburst in November 1977, a wall fell on him while he was preparing to take a shot for another film at Rajkamal Kalamandir studios, Bombay during the making of Manoj Kumar's Kranti. Je was hospitalised, but died a few days later.[2][7]

Personal life

Irani was a

Parsi,[8] although his surname is indicative of Irani
origin. His wife Salma was a Muslim.

Legacy

His home banner Nariman Films was revived 18 years later by his sons, Nadir and Nadeem, with Suniel Shetty-starrer Shashtra (1996).[9]
