Dubai, UAE February 24th 2008: Bridget Yaghi and Karim Abdul Aziz are amongst the few aspiring talents cast by PepsiCo in the first Arabic musical movie of its kind entitled Bahr Al Nujoom. Making their way to the top amid all the Arab celebrities, Pepsi's new and rising talent will challenge the ordinary and star in this huge production which is scheduled to hit theatres this summer. Although Bahr A Nujoom includes a remarkable cast of established singers and actors from different parts of the Arab world, Pepsi also chose to add a youthful flavor to its production and go against the norm by casting fresh untapped Arab talent.
"Pepsi constantly endeavors to entertain its consumers by bringing them the best of the best especially with music. Bahr Al Nujoom is a natural progression to maximize the boundaries of music by casting young Arab talent with huge potential to grow," said Rima Chammas, Marketing Director PepsiCo International. "Bridget Yaghi and Karim Abdul Aziz are both quite young but have enormous potential which you will clearly see in this movie."
Bridget first caught the world's eye on TV through the hit show Super Star. Born to a musical family, the 18 year old is devoted to making it big in this competitive industry. With her amazing voice and dazzling looks, Bridget will definitely add the essence needed to complete this musical. As for Karim Abdul Aziz, he has grown up in the film industry most of his life, being the son of legendary actor Mahmoud Abdul Aziz. Karim started his career in Egypt featuring in many local advertisements and is keen to follow in the footsteps of his father. Pepsi spotted Karim's charisma and thus cast him as the lead teenager in Bahr Al Nujoom.
Bahr Al Nujoom is a ground breaking project for Pepsi which will be brought to life this summer, aiming to leave a lasting impression on its audiences. Log on to www.bahralnujoom.com for all the latest movie updates, behind the scenes images, and movie commentary.
