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.

Tamer Hosny & Hana El Zahed's ‘Restart' Hits Cinemas on May 29th
Directed by Sarah Wafik and written by Ayman Bahgat Kamar, 'Restart' features a comedic take on digital fame. Apr 15, 2025 Egyptian singer-actor Tamer Hosny and actress Hana El Zahed are reuniting on screen for their latest romantic comedy 'Restart', which is set to premiere in cinemas across Egypt on May 29th, 2025. The film, originally scheduled for release during Eid al-Adha, was pushed back to allow additional time for post-production. Directed by Sarah Wafik and written by lyricist and screenwriter Ayman Bahgat Kamar, 'Restart' marks the third collaboration between Hosny and El Zahed following the box office hit 'Behabek' (2022) and the earlier television series 'Farq Tawqit' (2014). The film is produced by TH Production, Hosny's own production company. 'Restart' follows the story of Mohamed, a phone repair technician, and Afaf, an aspiring social media influencer, as they join forces in an attempt to achieve viral fame. Their chaotic journey is amplified by the involvement of their equally unconventional families and a flamboyant talent agent known as 'the Joker.' What begins as a comedic pursuit of internet stardom soon turns into a deeper exploration of personal values, relationships, and the meaning of success in a digital age. The ensemble cast also features Bassem Samra, Mohamed Tharwat, Essam El Sakka, and emerging actor Said Osama. As with many of Hosny's past projects, the film includes original music composed and performed by the star himself. A new duet with Hana El Zahed is expected to be released in parallel with the film's launch. This is Hosny's fourth cinematic collaboration with director Sarah Wafik, following their previous work on 'Tag' (2024), 'Mesh Ana' (2021), and 'Omar & Salma 3' (2012). Wafik's continued directorial partnership with Hosny has been a defining element of his recent film career, often blending romantic plotlines with comedic and musical elements.
