Ramadan is currently busy shooting his latest film "Assad Aswad".
The cast also includes Ahmed Khaled Saleh, Maged El Kedwany, Khaled Elsawy, Razane Jammal, Aly Kassem, and more.
The film hails from filmmaker Mohamed Diab.
It is a historical action thriller feature set in 1280 AD in the Mamluk era.
In the film, Ramadan portrays Ali bin Muhammad Al-Farsi, who is sold in the slave market and later on leads the revolution against the Abbasid army.
Ramadan, born on May 23, 1988, began acting while at school. He received the award for greatest nationwide talent three times consecutively – an unprecedented achievement.
He started his career with small roles in TV series like “The Cinderella” until he had his big break in Yousry Nasrallah’s “Ehky Ya Sharazad” (Tell me, Shahrazad).
The actor then went on to star in blockbusters produced by the famous Egyptian producers Mohamed and Ahmed El Sobky, which made him one of the most valuable actors in the Middle East.
He is perhaps the only Egyptian actor to have been praised by the internationally renowned actor Omar El-Sherif who stated that he had chosen him to perpetuate his acting legacy.
Ramadan began exploring rap in the past years and releasing music videos for his singles.
