Internationally acclaimed
film maker Majid Majidi is currently in Mumbai with a choc-a-bloc
schedule. Apart from starting
research on his next film, his itinerary includes meeting the cast of
Salaam Mumbai, an Indo-Iranian production featuring Dia Mirza and Iranian
actor
Reza Golzar. He is also attending a screening of Akbar Khan's 2005
historical-drama, Taj Mahal, today in Juhu along with Masood E Khaleghi,
the Consul General of Iran. Akbar confirmed the news, saying, “The
Iranian unit of Salaam Mumbai is almost done with the shoot. I was asked
to co-produce the film but things didn't work out. I did, however,
promise to assist them with anything they needed. I was at a dinner
party with the film's
director, Ghorban Mohammadpour, Reza and Dia, at the Consul General's
residence, when the trio requested me to organise a screening of my
film. I'm happy to know that the world-renowned filmmaker Majid Majidi
will also attend the screening.“ Majidi had told The Hollywood Reporter
in a 2013 interview, “I've always wanted to shoot in India as I've
always felt that both Iran and India have the same cultural
sensibilities."
