Hesham Maged Releases Poster for Film "Pershama"

Egyptian actor and screenwriter Hesham Maged shared Thursday on Instagram the official poster for his upcoming comedy film "Pershama".

The cast also stars Riham Abdel Ghafour, Bassem Samra, Taha Desouky, Mostafa Gharieb, 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.

"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.
