Saudi actor and stand-up comedian Ibrahim Al Hajjaj recently became the kingdom’s biggest box office draw as protagonist of groundbreaking comedy “Sattar” in which he played a man whose floundering personal and professional life prompts him to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a freestyle wrestler.
As a followup, Al Hajjaj will next star in “Ambulance,” a screwball comedy directed by British helmer Colin Teague that follows two Saudi paramedics who stumble upon a briefcase containing Saudi Arabian Riyal 2 million in Riyadh, the kingdom’s capital. The film – which is written by Alberto Lopez (“Rupture”) and produced by Al Hajjaj’s House of Comedy and Saudi producer Talal Anazi’s Black Light Operations and former Mbc Studios chief Peter Smith in tandem with Muvi Studios – will be the first Arabic-language Imax release. It is set to open in Saudi Arabian cinemas on April 17.
