Mumbai, July 22 (IANS) Actor Kayoze Irani, who shares screen space with his father Boman Irani in the film "The Legend of Michael Mishra", says Boman was a "professional co-worker" and still lent an entertaining vibe on the sets.

At an event here, Kayoze was asked about working with Boman.

He said: "Actually, it was very intimidating on day one. There is him, Arshad (Warsi) and Aditi (Rao Hydari), But it took exactly three hours for them to make me feel comfortable and by lunch time, we were laughing, joking and chatting to just make me feel comfortable."

"On set, my father maintained a professional, entertaining co-worker vibe."

Kayoze made his debut in Karan Johar's "Student of the Year" and then acted in "Youngistaan".

Kayoze said that for one of the songs "Ishq di gaadi" in "The Legend of Michael Mishra", he was extremely excited and kept asking about the dance steps after director Manish Jha made him hear the song.

But Kayoze has a fear of birds and his excitement related to the song vanished when he was told that he had to hold two pigeons for the song. Then, he jokingly said that he didn't want to do the song.

"The Legend of Michael Mishra" is releasing on August 5.
