Babak Karimi to costar with Sophia Loren

Iran actor Babak Karimi has been cast to costar with legendary Italian film star Sophia Loren in a new feature by her son Edoardo Ponti.

Set to be released in March 2020, Karimi will experience his first international presence in a foreign movie titled ‘The Life Ahead’ which is an adaptation of Romain Gary’s novel ‘La vie devant soi’.  

‘The Life Ahead’ is a story of family and friendship that has political undertones.

Besides the 84-year-old Oscar-winning actress Sophia Loren, Karimi will also appear alongside Spanish actress Abril Zamora, Italy’s Renato Carpentieri and non-professional child actor Ibrahima Gueye.  

Among the long list of movies with Karimi starring in them, ‘The Past’, 'The Salesman’ and ‘A Separation’ by Oscar-winning Asghar Farhadi as well as ‘Secret Ballot’, ‘Fish & Cat’, ‘A Wedding’ and ‘Invasion’ stand out.
