Mehran Modiri returns behind the camera for Marde 1000 Chehreh, a comedy series built around the kind of mistaken-identity comedy and sharply drawn social types that have defined his television career for two decades.
What is Marde 1000 Chehreh about?
Marde 1000 Chehreh follows Masoud Shastchi, the hapless everyman Modiri has played before, picking up after an eighteen-year gap during which Masoud was exiled to Barareh. Trying to make up for lost time, he takes a job at a government office to help support his father, only to stumble, as always, into bad luck, unexpected situations and a chain of misunderstandings. The title itself, translating to 'the man of a thousand faces,' points to a show interested in shifting identities, roles and disguises as comic material, a register Modiri has returned to repeatedly across his catalogue. Each roughly 50-minute episode is built for standalone laughs while still rewarding viewers who follow Masoud and the people around him across the run, a format familiar to anyone who has watched Iranian television comedy of the last twenty years.
About the cast
Mehran Modiri directs and also plays the lead, Masoud Shastchi, sharing many of his scenes with Behi Jadidi as Masoud's fiancée, while Gholamreza NikKhah and Parvin Ghaem Maghami play his parents and Pejman Bazeghi and Nasrollah Radesh round out a supporting bench built for the character-driven comedy of misunderstandings the show favors.
Context & significance
The series is a 2026 Iranian comedy with episodes running about 51 minutes, placing it in the same broadcast-length bracket as other Iranian television comedies designed for weekly viewing rather than a single feature-length sitting. It carries no Persian dub or subtitle track, reflecting an original-language Iranian production made for a Farsi-speaking audience from the outset. This page sticks to the broad outline of the story and to verifiable production facts — director, cast, runtime and genre — rather than episode-by-episode detail.
