Asghar Farhadi’s ninth directorial experience has sold the distribution rights to the American company.
The flick starring Amir Jadidi has been listed among the films introduced to the 2021 Cannes International Film Festival’s selection committee.
Mohsen Tanabandeh, Raana Azadivar, Fereshteh Sadr Orafai and Sarina Farhadi star in the film alongside Jadidi.
Although the story for the new movie has been kept under wraps, it has been disclosed to the media that the film will be suspenseful just like Farhadi’s other works such as ‘A Separation’ and ‘The Salesman’.
‘A Hero’ marks a return to filmmaking in Iran for the acclaimed director after his project ‘Everybody Knows’ in Spain. It will be shot in the city of Shiraz.
