After more than a year and a half of filming, Egyptian director Mohamed Diab has announced that his new film ‘Asad’ will premiere on the first day of Eid al-Fitr 2026. The announcement follows the release of a teaser trailer, alongside a teaser poster.

Originally written six years ago by Mohamed Diab, Sherine Diab, and Khaled Diab, ‘Asad’ is described as a cinematic epic that blends social, romantic, and action-driven storytelling. The film stars Mohamed Ramadan, Razane Jammal, Ali Qassim, Magdy El Kedwany, Eslam Mubarak, Ahmed Dash, and Kamel Al Basha.

Post-production is currently underway, with editing, mixing, and scoring progressing both inside and outside Egypt. The film’s creative team includes Ahmed Bishara as cinematographer, Ahmed Fayez as production designer, Reem El Adl for costume design, Ahmed Hafez for editing, and an original score by acclaimed composer Hisham Nazih. Fight choreography is led by Kaloyan Vodenicharov, while the teaser and poster were created by Marcus Arian and Karim Adam, respectively.

‘Asad’ is produced by Good Fellas Media Production, in collaboration with Big Time Fund and Scoop Egypt Production, with Empire Entertainment handling regional distribution and AFD overseeing the Egyptian market.
