International actor Ashley Tabatabai stars in the upcoming dramatic film "Falsified," set to hit screens later this year!

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, August 25, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Multi-talented actor Ashley Tabatabai, who's known for his roles in Dominic Burns' 2014 war drama "Allies" and the ITV series "Have I Been Here Before"" recently wrapped production on the highly anticipated film "Falsified" where he takes on the starring role of Javier Baena.

Slated to begin screening at festivals later this year and throughout 2017, "Falsified," which Tabatabai wrote the screenplay for, is based around the true events of Spain’s stolen baby scandal, which reportedly involved over 300,000 babies stolen at birth and sold into adoption.

While Tabatabai's character Javier had always known he was adopted, it isn't until later in life that he discovers that he was actually stolen from his true parents and sold to his adopted family by the church. After months of searching he finds and forms a strong bond with what he believes to be his true family in Sevilla, Spain; however, his hopes are shattered when the DNA tests reveal that he is not the family’s stolen son. Burdened by the painful dead end, the film follows Javier as he moves on and starts a new life for himself and forms a family of his own with his new wife in London. But when an American named Henry comes to find him claiming to be his true father, Javier is forced to decide whether it is worth it to reopen a painful chapter of his life that might be easier left closed.

"Falsified," which was directed by Stefan Fairlamb ("Digital You", "Fall Away") with Tabatabai as writer and producer, was also the first project created by Tabatabai's company Taba Productions.

About the upcoming film, Tabatabai explains, "I believe it touches on a lot of universal themes… It's very much about the dynamic between a parent and child, and in particular a father and son. The message is centered around truth and identity and to what lengths, if any, are you willing to go to discover that… On another level I feel it's important to raise awareness of the scandal that happened in Spain. That is the backdrop to the narrative. And whilst the film is not set out to be overtly political, it is inspired by these events."

In the film Tabatabai stars alongside Mitchell Mullen from the films "About Time," "Implementation" and "Red 2," who plays Henry, and Julia Leyland from the series "No Place like Holmes."

"Ashley Tabatabai is a remarkably driven artist and part of this generation's exciting new vanguard of filmmaking: those artists who are daring to create story and hit the streets with it, those daring to search out and find avenues of expression for story, those daring to synthesize practice and theory," says actor Mitchell Mullen. "By comparison, having the kind of good looks that the camera loves and being in possession of a formidable acting technique seem the very least of his gifts. He's one to watch out for; a consummate content creator on the road to becoming an important player in the global filmmaking community."

To anyone who's seen Tabatabai's performances over the last few years, Mullen's glowing remarks will come as no surprise. The actor has etched his name in the minds of international audiences as someone whose widespread capacity for taking on challenging characters knows no bounds.

In 2014 Tabatabai gave an insightful and undeniably riveting performance as French inventor Louis Le Prince in the film "Louis Lost in Motion." Often referred to as the 'father of cinematography,' Le Prince shot the first moving picture several years prior to competitors such as the Lumiere brothers and Thomas Edison; however, just months before he was set to make his way to the U.S. to reveal his invention to the public, Le Prince mysteriously disappeared.

Directed by Adam Lyons ("Color Me Grey"), "Louis Lost in Motion" brings to the screen the conspiratorial story of Le Prince's unsolved disappearance with Tabatabai's dramatic performance making the film one that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through.

Recently Tabatabai also took on the lead role of Johnny, a highly effective undercover agent who infiltrates a dangerous criminal organization, in the upcoming crime series "Color Me Grey," which was shot in the UK last year. In "Color Me Grey," Tabatabai stars alongside Julian Kostov from the films "Ben-Hur" and "London Has Fallen," Tim Fellingham from "Final Destination 5" and Scott Michael Wagstaff from "Final Reflection" and "6 Days."

A multi-layered character whose life rests on his ability to balance his criminal cover persona with that of his true identity, the situation Tabatabai's character Johnny finds himself in is made even more complex by the fact that many of the members of the organization lead double lives as well, but none quite as a dangerous as his.

"Johnny is a really enigmatic character, quietly observant and always processing and calculating. He was a lot of fun to play as there were so many layers to him," recalls Tabatabai. "What helped was the amount of preparation that had gone into the piece. My co-star (Scott Michael Wagstaff) and I spent 6 months talking on the phone and meeting up as the characters… The process of exploring that and developing that relationship was key."

With an impressive repertoire of work already under his belt, actor Ashley Tabatabai is definitely one actor to pay close attention to in 2016, and the upcoming releases of "Falsified" and "Color Me Grey" will only further solidify his reputation as a magnetic actor who continues to captivate international audiences with his charm.
