Mehran Modiri (Persian: مهران مدیری, born April 7, 1967) is a prolific Iranian actor, television and cinema director, comedian and musician. He is considered to be the leading artist in social satire in Iran.[citation needed] In his works, he has usually addressed people's bad attitudes and negative characteristics and also criticized officials for the social deficiencies. His various series which have been broadcast through IRIB have set records in terms of viewership (an estimated 85% viewership when he is on air), as well as make him a popular personality among masses.
His artistic career began in his teenage years as he was acting in local plays. He then entered the world of radio and television in the early 1990s, actively writing scripts for and participating in various comedy skits during the annual Norooz comedy television shows broadcast by the IRIB.
He continued appearing in television comedies, however, he achieved real stardom with his creation of Pavarchin (Tiptoeing), in which he won numerous awards for directing and starring in the picture. He tasted success again when he directed and starred in Noghtechin (Ellipsis), and Jayezeye Bozorg (The Grand Prize), which became major hits on television in Iran[citation needed].
Afterwards, he followed Pavarchin's storyline with the making of Shabhaye Barareh which became his most popular television program yet; the show remained incomplete after it was criticized for offending rural people, which resulted in an abrupt end to the show after 92 episodes, without completely explaining the Barareh history.
He has starred in two full length films, and had planned on entering the film industry once again after Shabhaye Barareh was completed. However, he instead started working on his next project, television series Baghe Mozaffar.
Modiri also released a music album and performed in a number of concerts. He is also a veteran of the Iran–Iraq War[citation needed].
In 2009 Modiri was named by Newsweek as one of the 20 people who dominate power and public discourse in Iran.[1]
In 2015–2018 Modiri mostly seen in Nasim TV at Dorehami program with Avvalmarket sponsorship.
