Try the ministry of information and broadcasting. They have a separate department for Films. Mr.Irani being the father of Indian Talkie, getting information about him should be fairly easy. Also, you could try the film and television institute in Pune. If I was you, I would identify prominent film historians and reach out to them. Good luck! I hope you find some good lead here as well.
Thank your for suggestion.
Hope pointers that might be of help.
