Actor and icon Yahya Al-Fakharani has announced his return to cinema after being absent from the screen for nearly 24 years. Al Fakharani hasn’t made a movie appearance since 1998, with his last film being ‘Mabrouk and Bulbul’. Ever since, he’s stuck to a strict diet of theatre and television.


His returns come by way of his upcoming movie, ‘Benzo’, which is written by Taghreed Jamal and directed by Sarah Wafik. According to Al-Fakharani, the film is a fresh new beginning for him and is a far cry from the roles we’re used to seeing him in.
