An Iranian actor has returned to screens as a man after transitioning.

Saman Arastu, who was previously known as Farzaneh, had a strong career as a woman, playing television and film roles.

Now, the 42-year-old has taken advantage of Iran's liberal laws on gender reassignment after years of counselling and has returned to acting.
