TEHRAN -- Iranian director Alireza Amini has hired Turkish actor Tolgahan Sayisman for his new project “Shortwave on 444”, which will be shot on Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf this autumn.
All documents for Sayisman’s work in Iran have been approved by the relevant authorities and he will travel to Iran soon to prepare for the project, Amini told the Persian service of MNA on Monday.
“Shortwave on 444” is about two persons who are trapped in an oil rig but who speak different languages, so they cannot communicate with each other.
Other members of the cast for the film are Iranian, said Amini.
Sayisman has starred in “Love Do Not Say I’m Coming”, “Tulip Era”, “The Tigris”, “Captive Hearts”, “Love Eclipse” and several other TV series and movies.
He also pursues a career in modeling and has worked as TV host.
Amini is the director of “Letters in the Wind”, “Seven Minutes to Autumn”, “A Petition for Allah” and “Do Not Worry Sara”, and several other movies, which have been acclaimed at many international events.
