Commentary and controversy
In 2019, Popular, Beiraghi's third feature film was eliminated from the Fajr Festival's public screening program. The director published a comment on his social media page which read: God in Heaven!... Popular wasnt allowed to be screened in Mashhad! I called all the people I knew to ask why. All of them said unanimously, We just obey orders from above! I wonder where and who this above is! I wish I could talk to this above! He or she needs to explain why he doesn't allow the others to see the film while he himself hasn't still seen it and simply eliminated it... To show respect for his viewers, Beiraghi shared a few minutes of the beginning of his film through live video.
