Stuntman’s memorabilia given to museum

Arsha Aqdasi’s mother has presented a collection of the late Iranian stuntman’s memorabilia to the Cinema Museum of Iran.

His organ donor card, the racing helmet he wore while working on his last film project, and a number of his awards and diplomas of honor he received from different international festivals and film projects are among the items donated to the museum.

The high-profile stuntman was harshly injured during shooting a film project of Indian director Siddharth Anand in Beirut in August 2021.

His neck was injured when a car he was in turned over and he was placed in an induced coma by the doctors.

Born in 1982, the founder of Stunt 13 – a major studio for Iranian stuntmen, Aqdasi cooperated in several international projects, including ‘Skyfall’ which is a 2012 James Bond venture.

Among his other works, the most notable ones are ‘Bang Bang’ (2014) by Anand, ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ (2017) by Stanley Tong from Hong Kong, ‘Dying of the Light‎’ (2014) by Paul Joseph Schrader from the US, as well as several Iranian series and movies, including ‘Dark Intelligence’, ‘Passion to Fly’, ‘When the Moon Was Full’, ‘Exodus’, and ‘Damascus Time’.

He also acted in movies such as ‘Murphy's Law’ (the clown) and ‘Bang Bang’ (the bad man).

In addition to his activities in the world of cinema, Aqdasi was a master and instructor in several sports fields, including horse-riding, parachuting, free fall, base jumping, parkour, and martial arts such as Aikido.

The video above, recently published by the Owj Media Organization, producer of the movie, shows parts of his stunts for iFilm’s movie ‘Damascus Time’ directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia.
