Director Asghar Farhadi's acclaimed film A Hero was the subject of an alleged plagiarism charge made by his former student Azadeh Masihzadeh. She claimed that the two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker's movie A Hero was based on the documentaries she made during a filmmaking workshop held by Farhadi in 2014. The allegations led an Iranian Court to open proceedings in March 2022. After 2 years, the courts issued a verdict rejecting the accusations as baseless, clearing Farhadi of the blame and putting an end to Masihzadeh's legal action. A Hero: Asghar Farhadi Found Guilty of Plagiarism; Oscar-Winning Iranian Filmmaker Could Face Prison-Time.
