The Egyptian star Mohamed Ramadan confirmed that he draws his ambition from Dubai and its amazing achievements in record time, considering that “Dubai is a source of inspiration for every ambitious Arab youth, thanks to its rapid rise and supremacy over major cities, and topped the list of the best tourist destinations around the world.”

The champion of "Eagle of Upper Egypt" and "The Prince" said: "From Dubai I derive positive energy and great determination to achieve ambitions and dreams. It is the city closest to my ambition after it preceded us all and achieved what we seek to achieve, whether on the level of individuals or institutions."

In his dialogue with Emirates Today, the Egyptian artist stopped at a number of artistic and humanitarian stations that distinguished his career, with theater, cinema and singing, pointing out that his dreams are to upgrade his artistic experience to reach the limits of the world “from here” not from Hollywood, as he mentioned Ramadan as a day for the star The late scientist Omar Sharif, when he asked him at the age of 18 about his ambitions.

From criticism I learn

Regarding the critical opinions that are generally raised about his artistic works, Ramadan added: “I follow all the comments and reactions and do not stop only at the limits of admiration, but also at the ambushes whose criticisms constantly encourage me to present the best and benefit from the small lapses that the artist can fall into during his career, For this reason, some see that I am very adventurous, considering my always standing on the (line of fire), and this is what really tempts me because I am good at managing it, and I am also good at the details of the art that I present to people.

And he indicated that he seeks to make any artistic work confronted with its presentation, whether on the level of drama or cinema, or in the field of singing works, which Dubai has become a basic starting point for its portrayal and promotion, with its language of image and dazzling, which the Egyptian artist considers an "element of public surprise." And one of the most important pillars of true stardom today.

He believed that «there is a real difficulty in the balance between the artist and stardom, because one of the most important qualities of a successful artist is to be like the audience, close to his ambitions and dreams, and the star is constantly able to create an element of surprise in his followers, through his works in which he deliberately devotes this aspect to Excellence ».

He continued, "I think it is too early to fully judge my own experience in the field of stardom, because I am still at the beginning of my steps, and the features of my artistic experience have not yet been completed, because I have many important artistic projects that I intend to present to my fans."

We have the same potential

The hero of the "legend" seeks to advance his artistic experience to the world, starting from his Arab environment to the regional, with steps he describes by saying: “I aspire to embark on the global march from the Middle East, not from Hollywood, as did many Arab stars, most notably the late star Omar Sharif. , Who asked me when I was 18 years old about my ambition and I replied that I want to prove to everyone that we live on one planet, and we are able to make our stardom from this place of ours. ”

He explained: “We have the same capabilities, but we need enlightened thinking, planning and creativity in order to create great works of art that guarantee us the spread and deep impact on others .. From the Arab world I want to record my future steps in art and my successes, and go on my journey to Africa, and then to the rest Countries of the world ».

For singing

On his steps in the field of song, which has achieved millions of numbers added to his public successes in the concerts he held inside and outside Egypt, and through which he booked a place on the stardom map, Ramadan admitted that he does not have a Torabi voice, but he has a voice capable of performing contemporary songs like many stars Arabs and internationals, recalling his first steps in the field of singing, which coincided with the experience of a song for a telephone company in Egypt, which encouraged him to enter this field.

He said: “If the song“ Number One ”was the beginning of my successes in the field of singing, I followed it with the songs“ The King ”and“ Mafia ”, before I discovered the necessity for me to have an actual foothold in the field of mass concerts, so I decided to hold a concert in which the audience would share my successes. I later discovered that I only have four songs that cannot hold a public concert, which put me on a difficult task of presenting 14 songs in just 10 days, so I decided to form an intensive artistic workshop to implement them, and our efforts culminated in a successful concert attended by more than 30 thousand A person, and then another concert on the northern coast attended by more than 150,000 people, before I perform my last concert in Morocco and get official recognition for my singing talent.

Ramadan 2021

In the field of cinema, television drama and his new artistic projects, Mohamed Ramadan revealed that he has finished preparing for his upcoming Ramadan series "Musa", which deals with his experience accompanied by scriptwriter Nasser Abdel Rahman and director Mohamed Salama, pointing out that the work will be Ramadan's new dramatic surprise for his fans and fans in Egypt And the Arab world.

He added, "I have received the 20th episode of the text, which I hope will be watched by the audience in Ramadan 2021, and the stars Sumaya al-Khashab, Sayed Ragab and Riyadh Al-Khouli will share the championship in the work, along with a group of other stars and actors who will be announced successively."

Corona ... the reason

In response to discussions raised about Muhammad Ramadan's interest in singing at the expense of the talent for acting in drama and cinema, which attracted the attention of the public and critics, the Egyptian artist said in his interview with Emirates Today, during his visit to the newspaper’s headquarters last week, that he “presents a TV work. Every year, as was the case during last Ramadan with the series (Al-Prince), which achieved success and high follow-up rates among the various segments of the Arab audience.

He pointed out that many cinematic projects have been postponed this year "due to the Corona challenge," as he put it.

He added with regard to “Abu al-Funun” in particular: “I have not stopped experimenting with theater from 2005 until 2018, and the last successful play I presented to the audience was (Welcome Ramadan) at the Haram Theater.

As for my stopping, it coincided with my preoccupation at that time with joining the army, although in the first year I tried seriously to present theatrical works during my vacation days, in addition to photographing other artistic projects.

A humanitarian initiative

On his humanitarian activities as an artist and influencer, the Egyptian star Mohamed Ramadan revealed the establishment of the Mohamed Ramadan Foundation, which deals with humanitarian work, pointing to his constant willingness to participate in charitable work of a humanitarian character, which benefits all members of society.

He explained: “Besides my eagerness to extend a helping hand in the foundation, which will soon be launched in my beloved country, I always try to be an inspiration to my young fans and present artistic works that do not incite violence and harm, as some accuse me sometimes, as in my series (Eagle Upper Egypt) and (Al-Prince), in which unique human personalities were embodied as real social and moral role models, and this stems from my firm belief in purposeful art messages that I must constantly devote. ”
