He added: “And with this great news, I would like to announce that Cairo has become one of my action plans or ′′research laboratories”; where I will continue to develop my experience as an actor; defending characters, talking about my generation, marking my time or even leaving an imprint …”
“Very happy and proud to be officially part of the MAD solutions family, in its new subsidiary MAD Rising Celebrity,” he said proudly, noting that “MAD Solutions is the first pan-Arab independent studio and integrative and creative marketing consultant for the Arab film and entertainment industry.”
′′An actor seeks recognition, whether in the form of a reward or a solicitation”, Fares Landoulsi concluded.
