Talking about director Asghar Farhadi, apart from A Hero, four of his previous movies were also shortlisted for the Oscars. These include About Elly, Separation, The Past and The Salesman. In a podcast with The Hollywood Reporter, Farhadi also spoke about what inspired him to direct A Hero.
Asghar Farhadi said, "The concept for this story was in my head as a theatre student. Later on, I kept seeing very similar stories in the news, and it really interested me." Apart from this, the filmmaker also spoke about him inculcating social media in the movie. To this, he said, "In Iran, especially with the new generation, using this technology is just part of their lives. They spend a lot of time in the day with social media. It seems to me that the characteristics and traits that social media has outside Iran are the same inside Iran. I didn't write this script to talk about social media or criticize social media. But the story is about this common guy who became very famous in the region. Of course, these days social media plays a huge role in these kinds of situations."
