The Persian Version Trailer Is Out

Mumbai, 30th May 2023 (Newshelpline) - Sony Pictures Classics drops the first teaser for The Persian Version, helmed by Iranian-American filmmaker Maryam Keshavarz.

The film stars Layla Mohammadi, Niousha Noor, Kamand Shafieisabet, Bijan Daneshmand, Bella Warda, Chiara Stella, and Shervin Alenabi.

Coming from two countries at odds with each other, Iranian-American Leila (Layla Mohammadi) strives to find balance and embrace her opposing cultures, while boldly challenging the labels society is so quick to project upon her.

When her family reunites in New York City for her father's heart transplant, Leila navigates her relationships from arms-length in an effort to keep her "real" life separate from her family life.

However, when her secret is unceremoniously revealed, so are the distinct parallels between her life and that of her mother Shireen (Niousha Noor). This film delivers an honest portrayal of a woman who remains unapologetically herself, blended seamlessly into a heartfelt story about family, belonging, and the undeniable influence of pop music.
