Here's Our First Look at "Pershama"

The first look at Egyptian actor and screenwriter Hesham Maged's comedy film "Pershama" has been unveiled.

The cast also stars Riham Abdel Ghafour, Bassem Samra, Mostafa Gharieb, Hatem Salah, Arefa Abdul Rasoul, and more.

Khaled Diab directs the pic from a script he co-wrote with Sherine Diab and Ahmed El-Zaghbi. 

Ahmed El Desouky produced the project alongside SkyLimit Studio, Film Square Productions, and Big Time Fund.

The film is a satirical social comedy that boldly tackles the issue of cheating in exams, a known phenomenon around the world.

"Pershama" is set to hit theatres across Egypt and the Arab world sometime in 2026.

Maged made his last appearance on the big screen in the 2024 star-studded film "My Wife's Ex" (Merati's Ex).

Maged, born on April 26, 1980, graduated from Cairo University.

During university, he created the Tamr Hendi production company with his friends which produced films that ridiculed famous Egyptian films.

They created the film “Men who do not know the impossible”, a project that attracted the attention of Mohamed Hefzy, who at the time was trying his hand at production.

Hefzy produced their first TV series “Afeesh wa Tashbeeh” which cynically tackled Egyptian classics in each episode.

He also produced the trio's 2008 film "Waraqat Shifra" which was a big hit at the box office.

Maged starred and scripted the film which familiarized his face to the audience. He won the award of the “Best New Faces” Award for the year, in participation with his mates Ahmed Sabry and Chico.
