In a span of 20 years at Behnegar, he was involved in the production of several fiction feature films, some of which were co-produced with filmmakers from France, Japan, Tunisia, and Germany. Five of the 13 films he has worked on have been recognized with industry awards.

Mehran was the co-producer of the feature film Djomeh (Iran, France 2000), recipient of the Camera d’Or in Cannes 2000.
