Egyptian actor Ahmed Dash has recently joined the cast of actor Mohamed Emam's remake of the 1991 cult film "Shams elzanaty", which starred his father, prominent Egyptian actor, “El Zaeem” Adel Imam.
Set during WW2, "Shams elzanaty" follows an oasis village being attacked frequently by a group of robbers, led by a marshal. The village's old man Sheikh Othman travels to Cairo, Egypt, to buy weapons and men, Shams Elzanaty and his fellows, to fight back.
The film also starred Mahmoud Hemeida, Sawsan Badr, Mahmoud El Gendy, Mustafa Metwalli, Abdullah Mahmoud, Ahmad Maher, Ibrahim Nasr, Roshdy El Mahdy, Aly Abdel Raheem, Noha El Amroussy, Saeed Tarabeek, and more.
The remake is directed by Ahmed Khaled Moussa and serves as a follow-up to the original film. Mohamed Emam is studying with the production company how to persuade Emam senior to take on the role of the narrator.
Born in October 2000, Dash is one of the youngest talents in the country and began acting in television commercials at a young age. He then made his acting breakthrough in Amr Salama’s film "Excuse My French", followed by roles in over 20 films and television series in which he acted alongside the best-known Egyptian artists.
His other significant works include roles in "Photocopy" (2017) — which was directed by Tamer Ashri and starred Mahmoud Hemeida and Sherine Reda — as well as Peter Mimi’s "Casablanca" (2019), starring Amir Karara.
