TEHRAN -- In a brief but heartfelt update, director Masoud Dehnamaki spoke about the recent health scare of veteran Iranian actor Akbar Abdi. 
On Thursday, Abdi was unexpectedly admitted to the ICU following a sudden medical issue. Thanks to swift medical care, Dehnamaki shares, the danger has passed and the actor is on the path to recovery.
