Lebanese singer Wael Kfrouri recently flew to Hungary to shoot the scenes for his upcoming music video “Arrab Li” (Come Closer to Me) under the direction of director Saeed Al Marouq. The clip revolves around a marriage scene, in which Wael is being wed to a young beautiful woman.
According to the London based Elaph, the clip was done using the latest technology, like 16mm cinema cameras. The story of the clip is about a single father who is very wealthy but he prefers to dedicate his entire life to his son and decides not to get married again. The clip shows Wael as an old father and his son is getting married.
Director Saeed Marouq says that Wael proved to have great acting talents where he could show excellent impressions especially by his eyes. Wael expressed his great happiness with the clip watching it shortly after finishing the montage process. The clip is expected to be aired on Rotana Satellite Music Channel on the program “Awel Marra”.
Kfouri just finished recording his album entitled “Arrab Li”, and is scheduled for release in the very near future. The new album includes ten songs which are Arrab Li, Albi Mishta', Khodni Leek, Ir7am 3azabi, Malek el Gharam, Jan el Hawa, 7abibi Ta3a, Laila Walla Laila, Lamma Nkoun Sawa, and Ma Sadda't Aghani.
Rotana satellite TV channel invited Wael to talk about his new album on the program “Ma3 7obi” (With my Love) where he met his fans who gave him a book entitled “Wael Kfouri, 12 years of success”. The book talks about Wael's career since he started singing twelve years ago and his ongoing success since that time.
Kfoury is also currently taking extensive lessons in the English language in order to prepare himself for his upcoming role in the Hollywood film “Ali Baba”. Lebanese film producer Elie Samaha, who is the Chairman/CEO of Franchise Pictures, nominated Wael to take part in the film, leading him towards international stardom. Wael signed a contract to star in the new film "Ali Baba" alongside internationally-known actor Antonio Bandares. The film falls under the action genre and is scheduled to be filmed in the United States of America, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Wael also had to loose 12 Kilos for his character in the film and to appear fit. Kfoury's office asserted that the singer had received several offers to star in different films, but he was only convinced with this one and so decided to accept the role. Kfoury had previously revealed that rumors regarding the possibility of him taking part in the film alongside Antonio are true. Wael stressed that he did not wish to give out any details regarding the film, wanting to wait until an agreement is final between both sides. –Albawaba.com
