Veteran Iranian actor shaves head for play

Legendary Iranian actor Ali Nasiriyan has taken on a different role in the ongoing musical performance of '300 Show'.

Nasiriyan portrays Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, in a series of video projections displayed on the walls of the Melat Palace at Tehran's Sadabad Complex.

He underwent a dramatic transformation for the role, shaving his head.

The acclaimed Iranian actor appeared as a judge in 'Heads on Gallows' series several decades ago, shaving off his head for the role.

The performance, a musical narrative about the Mongol invasion of Iran's Neyshabour city, has captivated audiences with its stunning visuals and powerful storytelling.

Sohrab Pournazeri's latest theater production boasts a talented cast that includes well-known film stars such as Bahram Radan, Bahram Afshari, and Gohar Kheirandish.
