A film co-produced by India and Iran has broken box office records in the Middle-Eastern country.

‘Salaam Mumbai’ is currently being previewed throughout the UK and stars Dia Mirza.

She said,, “There are many differences between Bollywood and Iranian Cinema, which made working on this project a truly unique experience for me.
"The way the scenes are staged, the meter of performance is very honest and organic in its approach.

"While we tend to heighten experiences they choose to underplay them. The censorship guidelines in their cinema push creative expression. It is a classic example of art emerging triumphant when it is subverted.”

She is paired opposite Mohammed Reza Gulzar who many consider 'the Shah Rukh Khan of Iranian cinema'.

Other Indian talent includes actress Poonam Dhillon and Gulshan Grover who depicts his ‘bad man’ on screen persona. 

Award winning Playback singer Arjit Singh has provided his vocals for the movie soundtrack which is being officially released this month.

‘Salam Mumbai’ centres around two medical students from different parts of the world finding love while capturing the rich cinematic legacies of both countries.
