Elnaznorowji will review her first lead role in Hollywood alongside Hotel Tehran across from Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson and talk about her work with them
Elnaznorowji is said to have been part of actor Gerard Butler’s Kandahar (2023), and the actor is expected to play her first lead role in the West in a film with Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson. We’ve made progress in Hollywood due to reports. Confirming the same with us, Elnaaz Norouzi shares that the news is really true and the film is entitled Hotel Tehran.
She said: “The film is about a former CIA agent going to Tehran to find something about the government. It’s a big deal for me to play the lead on the other side of Zachary Levi and my childhood favorite. One Liam Neeson is there too. It’s very exciting, I’m not that aware of myself yet.”
The 28-year-old claims she has “one of the best times of my life” working on the film. “Do you think Hollywood is generally like this, even with directors, producers, and even Zachary, or was I just lucky? This experience was incredible, the film was It’s better than we filmed,” she shared, adding that VFX productions are now left in the film, with focusing on releases later this year or early 2026.
Speaking about her co-star Zachary, Elnaz said: I had never played poker before, so I learned how to play poker from Zachary, a very good poker player, on the set at Hotel Tehran. Regarding Liam, “When I dreamed of becoming an actress as a little girl, I dreamed of working with Shah Luke Khan, but when I see Liam Neeson, I’d say I’d do that one day. I didn’t think Liam Neeson plays a female lead in a film that is part of it. Above all, the results are very surreal to me.”
