Did Oscar Winner Asghar Farhadi Steal the Premise for ‘A Hero’?
Now, in a plot twist that could have come from one of Farhadi’s movies, the director is facing a pair of lawsuits in Iran connected to the film. One of the director’s former film students claims Farhadi plagiarized the story forfrom a documentary she made in his class, and the man both she and Farhadi claim the story ofis based on also is suing the Oscar winner, accusing Farhadi of defaming his character in his fictional portrayal.
The consequences of the case, both for Farhadi and Masihzadeh, are potentially severe. If the court finds Farhadi guilty of plagiarizing, he could be forced to hand over “all income earned by the screening of the film in theaters or online” to Masihzadeh, according to her lawyer, and could even face time in prison. On the other hand, if Masihzadeh is found guilty of falsely accusing Farhadi and defaming him, she faces a prison sentence of up to two years as well as 74 lashes .
