reported. She accused Farhadi of plagiarizing key elements of her film without crediting her.
Masihzadeh alleged that she found her story on her own and researched it in her town of Shiraz, Iran. However, Farhadi’s attorney argued in his post that the prisoner’s 2012 story was already published in mass media and is in public domain ownership, so no one can claim exclusive ownership.
A representative for Farhadi did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Times’ request for comment. However, “A Hero” producer, Alexandre Mallet-Guy said that he believes the court will dismiss the case.For all the current hostility between Washington and Tehran, an American who journeyed to Iran more than a century ago remains an unlikely icon there.
