After acting in Khosrow Sinai's Dar Kooche-haye Eshgh he had the chance to play a role in another movie by Sinai, Aroos-e Atash aka Bride of fire which brought him many awards in Fajr Film Festival, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and Khane-ye Cinema award. He had roles in three films by Sinai and had worked with notable Iranian directors such as Ebrahim Hatamikia, Asghar Farhadi and Bahram Beyzayi. He also gained TV popularity after acting in the role of a ghost named "Hasan Golab" in a TV series directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia. On 26 March 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Farrokhnezhad criticized the invasion of Ukraine, calling it “savagery” and “brutal attack”, and announced that he returned the best actor award he had received from the 2005 Moscow International Film Festival, in protest of the invasion. On 2 February 2026, Farrokhnezad boycotted the Fajr International Film Festival in protest of the government's handling of the 2025–2026 Iranian protests.
