He said that those who have been discovered not wearing hijab cannot act. This is not something new and has not been announced now.
In continuation of this program, the head of the Cinema Organization stated that some of them are pressuring others to change their positions and they should change their behavior. They should say that we do not want to be like this and we should not undermine the laws.
