As a cinematographer he is known for his films like Talash, Saraswatichandra and Phool Aur Patthar, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan[2] and Chhailla Babu. He won the 16th National Film Awards for Best Cinematography (B & W) for Saraswatichandra (1968),[3][4][5] he also won the 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 film Don (1978). While Don was still under production, he was badly hurt, 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. A wall collapsed on him and he suffered a hip bone injury. Though, he 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]
