“At that time Dr. Walla, who was studying  theater in the UK, directed a play of Jean-Paul Sartre's "Dirty hands", which I, along with Fakhri  Khorvash, Malek Nasr performed. “Dirty Hands” was translated by Jalal al-Ahmad, a well-known author. Dr. Walla then directed "Zarrin Samarghand Road", which was about  Haron Al-Rashid. The role of Haron Al-Rashid was supposed to play  by Mohammad Ali Jafari. He was busy with another play, so they offered that role to me. I accepted. I worked with actors such as Mr. Wahdat, Sarang, Mrs. Tahmineh, Mr. Tabesh and Mani Mozafa. After 16 days the Theater Hall fired. One night, Dr. Walla told me: "Now that the theater Hall has been burnt and you have a one-year contract with us, let’s play another one." I accepted. The show "Professor Susol" went on stage for a year and a half.  At that time I made a distance from cinema. Then I performed in another play. I had performed in  three or four play  in total. After that, in 1958, I acted in the movie called " The Runaway Bride", filmed in Ramsar. I immediately acted in another film called "Breakout Spell". "Breakout Spell" was premiered at the sideline of Berlin Film Festival.” Said he about acing in theater.
