Egyptian stars Karim Abdel Aziz and Yasmine Sabri found their next collaboration in the film "Matlob Eaylyan" ("Family Wanted").

The pic marks the second collaboration between Abdel Aziz and Sabri after the 2025 blockbuster film "Al Mashrue X."

Specific details on the upcoming project remain under wraps, but the pic hails from director Moataz El Tony and scriptwriter Sherif Elleissy. Synergy is the studio behind the project.

Principal photography is underway.

Up next for Abdel Aziz is the action thriller "The Seven Dogs."

Belgian and Moroccan filmmaking duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are helming the film from a script by Mohamed El-Dabbah.

Abdel Aziz along with Ahmed Ezz lead an international cast also featuring Monica Bellucci, Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Max Huang, Tara Emad, and Sandy Bella.

It also features special appearances from Hannah El Zahed, Menna Shalaby, Hala Sedki, and more.

Ezz plays an Interpol officer opposite Aziz as a member of a clandestine global crime syndicate known as 7 Dogs. The natural enemies are forced to join forces to stop the circulation of a dangerous new drug across the Middle East.

The action thriller is based on a story by the head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority Turki Al-Sheikh and the Big Time team.

"The Seven Dogs" is produced by the film arm of entertainment and hospitality company Sela and sponsored by GEA and Riyadh Season, with post-production by L.A.-based VFX giant Company 3.

Alalshikh executive produces alongside Abdulelah Alqurashi and Adnan A. Kayal, with long-time Guy Richie collaborator Ivan Atkinson (Aladdin, The Gentlemen, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) on board as a producer with support from Cyrus Patel (Tehran, ’83) as a line producer.

The project is sponsored by the Saudi General Entertainment Authority and is the first film to be shot in Big Time Al-Husn Studios, one of the MENA region’s biggest film and television production facilities, with additional shooting at Riyadh Boulevard.

Riyadh servers as a stand-in for multiple international cities, including Mumbai and Shanghai.

The project is hailed as a game-changer for Saudi Arabia as it continues its drive to become the Middle East and North Africa’s biggest film and TV hub.
