Syrian actor Moatasem Al Nahar is set to star alongside Egyptian Yasmine Sabri in an untitled film.

The pic hails from director Ahmed Khaled Amin and scriptwriter Ahmed Abdulfattah.

The project marks Sabri's first lead film role and is set to begin shooting in the coming weeks.

Sabri was recently seen in the blockbuster film "Al Mashrue X" ("Project X").

The pic premiered in theaters and IMAX on May 21 and has grossed EGP 141 million, coming third in the highest-grossing films in the history of Egyptian cinema.

The film's official logline reads: "When a troubled archaeologist uncovers ancient secrets that could revolutionize the world’s energy supply, he becomes the target of a shadowy organization determined to keep the knowledge buried. In a race against time and powerful enemies, he must decide between revealing the truth and protecting his daughter from the deadly forces closing in on them."
