Ali Ghotbi as reflected in the book titled Filmshenakht Iran by Mr. Abbas Baharloo. Same actors also played in another movie called Bolhavas. Unfortunately both movied caught fire during screening at Mayak movie therter in Tehran. The Diploma de L'ecole Cinematograpique a' Tehran signed by Ohanian and one other person and sealed on the picture of Abolghassem Ashti does still exist.

Not only were there technical shortcomings, but additionally, the release of the first Persian talkie (produced in India) diminished its prospects for profit. After the failure of his second film, Ohanian could not find any support for further activities. He left Iran for India and continued his academic career in Calcutta. Subsequently he returned to Iran in 1947, where he died seven years later.
