Madadi Gets a Starring Role

There was one person who told me about him, so we asked if he could audition. When I saw him, I was blown away and thought about what fucking talent. He must be in the film.” said the diretor. “I thought: Why not? I’ve always liked to stand in front of the camera and it clicked very well with Tarik.” says Madadi about the opportunity.

“When I was on my first date that guy we saw a movie with Paolo Roberto. I became quite how impressive of him, he was doing martial arts and recorded movies. I dreamed of one day getting to do something similar. And today, I am there with the UFC and will shoot a movie. It feels incredible.” continues Madadi.

The movie should be out in the theaters next February. Other stars in the movie include Ola Rapace, Moa Gammel and artisten Lykke Li.
