LOOK: Dan Villegas meets award-winning director Asghar Farhadi
Although he is a talented director himself, Dan Villegas could not help but be starstruck upon meeting another acclaimed director, Asghar Farhadi.
The “Exes Baggage” director is one of the lucky ones who attended the Persian filmmaker’s masterclass held in Hong Kong. This he showed on Instagram Friday.
In a video, Villegas is shown next to Farhadi while he grants his request for an autograph. The video was taken by Jennylyn Mercado, who worked with him in the movie “All of You.”
