Iran's Rafsanjani to be depicted on small screen

Footage shows the actor selected to play the role of Iranian ex-president Ayatollah Rafsanjani in a new historical series.

The series 'Unfinished Mystery' co-directed by Ali and Amin Amani has unveiled the name and make-up test of the actor set to appear as Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former Iranian president and chairman of the Expediency Council, who is viewed as a pillar of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

After several make-up tests, Ramin Rastad was finally selected as the closest person to play the role of Ayatollah Rafsanjani.

The new series will start shooting at the end of autumn in Iran, choosing a different narrative to depict some of the most influential figures in the Islamic Revolution.
