While shooting a movie at Tacher, a palace belonging to the Achaemenid King Darius the Great (549-486 BC) in Persepolis, the crew poured a red liquid on the stone pavements of the palace’s southeastern courtyard to make special effects. Smoke was also added to the effects shots which further destroyed the courtyard. Since the substance was made of chemicals, it is said that removing it would be a hard job.
The movie is directed by the renowned Iranian movie director Tahmineh Milani who obtained permission for shooting her movie at Persepolis from Iran’s Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization and its provincial department in Fars.
