Iran actor works in Arctic, watches aurora

Famed Iranian actor Peyman Maadi has posted a photo of himself in the Arctic, working on his new cinematic project.

Star of Iranian Oscar-winning film ‘A Separation' is enjoying watching the auroras while shooting for his latest Hollywood movie in the very cold area around the North Pole.
