"There are different shades to the character but it is some of the funniest characters I have ever played. It's weirdly funny. We are aware that Mumbai never had a maharaja but there is a meaning to it," Boman said in a statement released here Wednesday.
He has also been shown to have his own dungeon very much like Hefner's Playboy mansion where he celebrates life in style.
Even the initials of Boman's character have been consciously kept the same as Hefner's to attribute a similarity to the flashy billionaire.
