The team that brought us the box office sensation ‘Material’, the hilarious, heart-warming film about a dutiful young Muslim man who moonlights as a stand-up comedian is back! The sequel is called ‘New Material’.
The much-loved character, Cassim Kaif, played by Riaad Moosa, continues to ply his trade as one of South Africa’s few Muslim comedians while balancing the demands of a marriage, a young child, and living in a house with his aging parents. His father Ebrahim (Vincent Ebrahim) has reluctantly accepted his son’s chosen career for now, but it is still a burning issue.
Take a look at the trailer right here – it’s due out in October!
The sequel to the smash hit film also stars Zakeeya Patel, Denise Newman, Kurt Schoonraad, and media personality, Shashi Naidoo.
‘New Material’ is produced by Ochre Moving Pictures and Blu Blood Africa and is distributed by Indigenous Film Distribution.
