TEHRAN – The veteran Iranian filmmaker Masud Kimiaii plans to stage a reading performance to raise funds to cover part of the cost of treatment for actor Majid Bahrami, who is suffering from a type of blood cancer.
He will direct Iranian dramatist Jalal Tehrani’s “Two Clowns and a Half” at the main hall of Tehran’s City Theater Complex on December 28.
Bahrami was diagnosed with cancer in 2011. He was dispatched to Germany to receive further treatment for six months and he returned to Tehran last year in good health. However, the disease has recently returned.
He is currently in Germany to receive treatment.
