Egyptian actor and global star Mohamed Ramadan has described his upcoming film Assad as one of the most significant projects of his career, calling it a decisive shift towards cinema following his recent television success in Gaafar.
Speaking about the film, Ramadan said Assad represents a fully realised cinematic experience, led by internationally acclaimed director Mohamed Diab and cinematographer Ahmed Beshary. The cast includes Razane Jammal, Maged El-Kidwani, Ali Qasem, and Ahmed Dash, whom Ramadan described as one of the film&rsquo;s surprises.
After Gaafar, Ramadan said he made a deliberate decision to focus more intensively on film work. He noted that television drama demands sustained energy and long-term concentration, while cinema allows him to immerse himself fully in a single role and offer what he described as a deeper artistic experience.
Assad is billed as a historical, action-driven production with commercial and artistic appeal. It tells the story of a Black hero who falls in love with a white woman, confronting social barriers and the harsh realities of slavery in what Ramadan described as a powerful human narrative.
The actor said the film reflects his ambition to connect Egyptian cinema with international audiences, citing legendary actor Omar Sharif as a source of inspiration. He stressed that global recognition does not require leaving one&rsquo;s homeland, but rather telling authentic stories capable of resonating beyond borders.
Assad is expected to be one of the most anticipated releases in Ramadan&rsquo;s career, marking what he sees as a new chapter in his artistic journey.
