Keosayan clearly understood what he was doing. And what achieves a specific result. From an artistic point of view, I don’t see anything wrong with the fact that he and Margarita are collaborating. In addition, when working on the script, Simonyan had many consultants and assistants.

When she appeared on the set, the atmosphere changed. Still, a pregnant woman is miraculously beautiful! Everyone started smiling, it became very emotional. And she herself was happy with her position.

Tigran courted Margarita as a real man. I heard that they later had a daughter, but that they would have a son soon - not yet, but I’m very happy for this beautiful couple.”
