Dubai: Egyptian superstar Tamer Hosny will be in Dubai tonight on May 28 for the red carpet premiere of Arabic-language comedy Restart, ahead of its official UAE theatrical release this Thursday.
He is expected to walk the red carpet around 8pm at the Vox Cinemas in Mall Of The Emirates and will attend the invites-only premiere.
According to reports, Hosny plays Mohamed, a modest phone technician with big dreams of marrying Afaf, a small-time influencer, in this quirky romantic comedy. To fund their future together, the couple joins forces with their eccentric families to chase internet stardom.
Guided by a slick, mysterious agent known only as “the Joker,” they achieve viral fame—but it comes at a cost. As success threatens to unravel their personal lives, Mohamed must fight to reconnect with his family and win back the woman he loves.
Tamer Hosny’s presence in Dubai underscores his continued star power in the Arab world. He's one of the Arab world’s most beloved entertainer and his multi-faceted career spans over two decades.
Restart is one of his most anticipated movies of the year. Plus, his credits include ‘Haleet Hob’, ‘The Light of My Eyes’, ‘Omar & Salma 3’ and more.
A man who wears several hats?
He isn't an actor and filmmaker alone. Arabic entertainment folklore has it that Hosny launched his solo music career in 2004 with an album called ‘Love’. He has also performed at Dubai's Global Village.
Often dubbed the “King of Generation,” and 'Star of our times', he rose to fame with his romantic ballads before expanding into blockbuster films and high-profile collaborations.
The singer, composer and songwriter is also well known for songs such as ‘Eish Besho’ak’, ‘Kol Haga Bena’ and ‘Naseny Leh’. Hosny is popular among fans for his stage presence, charm and romantic songs, and they’ve dubbed him ‘The Star of Our Times’.
In 2019, Hosny was one of the many global stars who sang on the track ‘Right Where I’m Supposed to Be’, the official song of the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi, alongside Ryan Tedder, Avril Lavigne, Luis Fonsi, Hussain Al Jassmi and Assala Nasri.
