Mehran Modiri returns behind the camera for Marde 1000 Chehreh, a comedy series built around the kind of layered ensemble sketches that have defined his television career for two decades.
What is Marde 1000 Chehreh about?
Rather than centering on one plotline, Marde 1000 Chehreh works as a showcase for Mehran Modiri's directing sensibility: fast dialogue, exaggerated social types, and comic setups that unfold across a group of characters rather than a single lead. 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 half-hour-plus episode is built for standalone laughs while still rewarding viewers who follow the ensemble 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 appears on screen, sharing scenes with Behi Jadidi in a lead comic pairing, while Gholamreza NikKhah, Parvin Ghaem Maghami, Pejman Bazeghi and Nasrollah Radesh round out a supporting bench built for the sketch-driven, multi-character style 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. Because the underlying catalogue description for this title overlaps with other entries in the archive, this page deliberately sticks to verifiable production facts — director, cast, runtime and genre — rather than plot detail that cannot be confirmed.
