Vox Cinemas hosts UAE premiere of ‘Restart' ahead of regional release
'Restart' releases at Vox Cinemas across the region on May 29 and tickets are currently on sale.
Vox Cinemas, the Middle East's cinema exhibitor, rolled out the red carpet for the UAE premiere of Restart last evening at its flagship location in Mall of the Emirates. The star-studded event welcomed a packed audience of more than 500 guests, including prominent media figures and social media influencers, and featured appearances by the film's lead actors Tamer Hosny, Bassem Samra and Mohamed Tharwat, along with director Sara Wafiq.
The premiere marked a major cultural moment ahead of the film's official release on May 29 across Vox Cinemas in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt and Lebanon. Produced by Tamer Hosny's TH Production and directed by Sara Wafiq, Restart tells the story of Mohamed, a humble phone technician played by Hosny, and his fiancée Afaf, portrayed by Hana El Zahed, who dreams of becoming a social media star. As they chase fame with help from their families and a notorious agent known as 'the Joker,' the couple quickly finds themselves drifting from their core values. The film explores themes of love, ambition and the price of success, with Mohamed ultimately facing the challenge of mending broken bonds and winning back the woman he loves.
