Ahmed Mekky is preparing to make his long-awaited return to cinema with the upcoming film Mosem El Teen, marking his first big-screen project in nearly 13 years.
The Egyptian actor will star alongside Riham Abdel Ghafour in the new production, which will be directed by Mohamed Shaker Khodeir. The film also marks Mekky’s first cinematic collaboration with both Abdel Ghafour and the acclaimed director.
A Different Side of Ahmed Mekky
While Mekky is widely known for his distinctive comedy and popular television roles, Mosem El Teen is expected to move away from the comedic style most closely associated with his career.
Riham Abdel Ghafour revealed that the project will lean toward social drama rather than comedy, presenting audiences with a more serious and emotionally layered story. Further details about the plot and the characters have not yet been officially announced.
The new role could offer Mekky an opportunity to showcase a different side of his acting abilities after years of focusing primarily on television, particularly through the highly successful El Kebeer Awi franchise.
Mekky’s First Film Since Samir Abu El Nil
Mekky’s most recent cinematic appearance was in Samir Abu El Nil, released in 2013. His return with Mosem El Teen therefore ends a lengthy absence from Egyptian cinemas and is already generating anticipation among fans.
During his time away from film, Mekky remained one of Egypt’s most recognisable television stars, building a loyal audience through comedy, music and character-driven performances. His return to cinema in a dramatic production represents a notable shift in direction.
Riham Abdel Ghafour Joins the Cast
Riham Abdel Ghafour has officially joined the project as the film’s female lead. Known for taking on complex and emotionally demanding roles, the actress has become one of the most prominent performers in contemporary Egyptian drama.
Her pairing with Mekky is one of the project’s most anticipated elements, especially as the two actors have not previously shared the screen in a major film.
The production team is currently completing contracts with the remaining cast members before confirming the start of filming. A release date has not yet been announced.
With its dramatic direction, fresh on-screen pairing and Mekky’s highly anticipated return, Mosem El Teen is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched upcoming Egyptian film projects.
