Singer Majedah al-Roomi plans to co-star in a romantic film with actor Ahmed Zaki, once screenwriter Ahmed Bahjat finishes turning out the script, reports the daily al-Sharq al-Awsat. The name of the director for the upcoming film, which will be shot in Cairo and Alexandria, has not yet been revealed. 

The daily cited Ahmed Zaki as saying that he has a yen for romantic movies. The two artists have decided to co-star in the new romantic movie after finishing the movie “Ayyam Al Sadat” (Sadat Days), also written by Bahjat, which will hit the silver screen this June 26.  

This will be the second cinema role for Majedah. She performed twenty years ago in the movie “Awdat Al Ibn Al Dal” (The Return of the Stray Son) directed by Yousef Shahin. The renowned singer has apologized over the past few years for not participating in more than 30 movies, the most recent of which has been "Sukoot Ha Nsawwar" (Quiet, We Want to Photograph), directed by Shahin and starring singer Latifah - Albawaba.com
