In the post, Boman shared three picture full of the text he felt to convery to the team of 12th Fail. He wrote, ''You got it right, Massey, I was aware of all your preparation, The weight loss, sunburn to make your skin look that way, the accent, and the rest of it. Most would have felt that it was enough to crack the role. The truth is, the real preparation happens inside the soul of the character, His resolve, his humanity, his belief system, his fiery belly, his fears and his strengths.''
In the second image, he remarked, ''You can't rehearse for that, can you? You can only live it through a belief that goes way beyond your stupendous external preparation for the role. You don't have to DO for the camera, you have to BE in front of the camera. That is exactly what happened. More strength to you, Massey; you have inspired a whole bunch of young actors, me included.''
Prasing the director of the film, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Boman wrote, ''VVC, to whom I owe my career, has made a film that seemed like something a young, fiery filmmaker created. Not taking anything away from your work, Massey, but with VVC in top youthful form in your corner, you could not have asked for more. You got it right, Massey. The movie was about honesty, and that's exactly what every angle of your face and eyes displayed.''
