Tickling secrets & side-splitting schemes in 'Next Door Neighbors’

In the 27th installment of iFilm series 'Next Door Neighbors', to be aired at 19:00 GMT tonight (22:30 Tehran time), Bahram, our lovable protagonist, stumbles upon a shocking secret that threatens to turn his world upside down.

Bahram, played by the incredibly talented actor Pejman Jamshidi, has always been a bit of a bumbling but endearing character. However, in tonight's episode, he discovers that his pregnant wife, Mahnaz, has been hiding a bank account with a whopping 5 million and 250 rials in savings! But what's got Bahram boiling with frustration is the fact that she never mentioned it when he desperately needed a mere 400 tomans to repair his car.

Unable to come to terms with the fact that Mahnaz kept such a significant secret from him, Bahram teams up with his mischievous neighbor, Zamyad, portrayed by the brilliant Amir Mehdi Zhouleh. Together, they concoct an outrageous plan to make Mahnaz reveal her hidden fortune.

Their cunning plan involves faking a lab report, which suggests that Bahram is suffering from a rare and incurable disease and only has a short time to live.

Bahram and Zamyad hope that this dire situation will prompt Mahnaz to spill the beans about her secret bank account. But will their scheme succeed, or will this scheme backfire in the most absurd way imaginable?

To make things even more exciting, we want to hear from you, the viewers! Do you think Bahram and Zamyad's plan will work? Will Mahnaz cave under the pressure and reveal her secret stash of cash? Or will this elaborate scheme blow up in their faces, leaving them in even deeper comedic chaos? Cast your vote and join the conversation using #NextDoorNeighbours on social media.
