Asghar Farhadi Cleared of A Hero Plagiarism Charges Filed by Former Student
A former student sued the Iranian filmmaker for stealing the idea for his acclaimed 2021 feature, which the Iranian courts have now rejected as 'baseless'.
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.
