Acting legend A’del Imam has recently agreed to become the promotional face for a telecommunications company. To this effect A’del Imam, who is also known as “Al Za’eem” (“The Leader”) has in fact filmed an advertisement with director A’mr Arafa who had insisted on directing the work. It is expected that the advertisement will be aired on satellite networks during New Year’s celebrations.A media official working at the ad firm responsible for promoting the commercial has stated that A’del Imam completed shooting in one day and that, moreover, the session only took 30 seconds. “Al Za’eem” appears on the advertisement and says: “Our strength doesn’t lie in the fact that we are 80 million but rather in the fact that there is strength within each one of us”. Following the conclusion of filming A’del Imam took part in photo sessions intended for billboards.Worthy of note is that Al Za’eem has charged 4 million dollars for taking part in the advertisement in addition to placing conditions for his participation. Some of Imam’s conditions were that he would not mention the name of the company being promoted and that the advertisement would not be screened during the slot appointed for his new TV drama “Firqat Naggy A’t Allah” (“Naggy A’t Allah’s Band”) which is scheduled to premier in Ramadan 2011. Imam’s final condition was that he would utter only one sentence throughout the course of the advertisement.On another note A’del Imam is preparing to commence shooting his upcoming work “Firqat Naggy A’t Allah” (“Naggy A’t Allah’s Band”).
