Boman started working in Hindi movies prior to the talkies and was on monthly payroll of [[JBH Wadia]] and [[Homi Wadia]]'s various movie production houses. In the mid-thirties when the Wadia brothers started making populist action movies, Boman's roles came to prominence. 1935 [[Wadia Movietone]] production, ''[[Hunterwali]]'' starring [[Fearless Nadia]] was a big hit and career defining movie for everyone involved including Boman, the male lead.<ref>{{cite book|title=Cinema Vision India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X-wKAQAAMAAJ|pages=85|year=1980}}</ref><br />
