The production of this film has taken over 3 and a half years full time, Saturdays and Sundays, days and nights... even in my sleep and dreams... I have tried, with my best intention, to promote and renounce our glorious culture, our great and magnificent history which has given birth to real life heroes like Ferdowsi, Attar, Molana and Hafez and so many others who have made and are making our culture In making of this film, our new generations raised or born outside of Iran, were in our focus as they are surrounded with other histories and cultures, and no or a few references to our own which surely is one of the purest, richest, maturest and most beautiful cultures, home to the first and greatest empire ever made on the earth...

I am sure by now you can realize that I have decided to also show a little of our magnificent history in this film, such as designing the palace of Kavoos modelled from “Persepolis”, and also the White fortress “Deje Sepid” modelled from Arge-Bam to give the audience a sense of a connectedness to the actuality and make the film more than a fairytale epic

Because of this reason, our own three coloured flag has also been used instead of the flags described in “Rostam and Sohrab's story in Shahnameh. This way, every Persian can feel the connection between the film and our roots, as the three colour flag is our flag for over 2000 years, and deeply rooted in our souls... Persians, even if born out side of Iran, can still recognize the three colour flag as Iranian, and can feel a deeply rooted, embedded connection and love with it.

it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs, excitements, challenges, pitfalls, problems and mistakes as well as achievements and learning...and finally, against all odds and purely with the grace of God, I came out of the haft Khan with the film completed in my hand... I learned while I was making this film, which is also reflected in the script, that we can all be Rostams, if we want to be...

I did all I could within this time, with my limited resources and limited 3 dimensional mind, with all the normal problems and challenges facing all of us in our daily lives, to make this film worthy of our culture... I hope you, as a part of our society, as some one who is living in this era, find this film also worthy of our culture, and do our share of enriching and passing it to our next generation.. just like it has grown and reached us so beautifully, generations by generations...
