Seyed Javad Hashemi: Don’t be too hard on artists, let us breathe.
Actor Seyed Javad Hashemi said, ‘Look, artists want respect. When an artist is disrespected, their voice is naturally more articulate than other segments of society, and they will speak up.’
An artist who cannot speak up is not an artist at all. An artist must be able to speak and engage in dialogue. Without dialogue, what value can an artist have?
It is also worth considering that in the country’s management body, many managers want these people to leave. They want anyone who is critical or has the slightest disagreement to go, and they say, ‘Good riddance if they leave.’
They say, ‘We will replace you.’ Where have you been able to replace them? Has the national broadcaster been able to attract viewers without top-tier actors? It hasn’t. We shouldn’t lie about this.
