In many Indian tribes there are signs: if the providence is confronted with a double, then you stand on the threshold of an important event: meetings with your loved one, weddings, the birth of children, changing the life path (or profession). Meanwhile, Philip Kirkorov, such a meeting is not far off ...
"I generally have a feeling that in the past life I lived in the Arab world. And, perhaps, was Aladdin, "Philip Kirkorov smiles. - Recently, being in New York, I went to the musical "Aladdin", which I really liked. And I had thoughts, they say, it would be nice to put the musical about this character of oriental fairy tales in Russia. And I could even play Aladdin. Surprisingly, but at the same time I received a proposal to voice Aladdin in the film ... "
However, at first Philip refused to voice the Kevic character. In a complex chart of Kirkorov, when today is a concert, and tomorrow you need to devote time to your children - Alle Victoria and Martin, it was difficult to carve out the free "window".

The idea of the film "New Adventures of Aladdin" was born about ten years ago. However, the author of Dave Cohen's script could not find the right moment for his incarnation. Such an opportunity, he finally provided producer Daniel Tordjman, and the film's production entrusted to Arthur Benzaine, known for the Sktcom "Zack very popular in France.
"We looked at a lot of countries, in particular, India. But Morocco, ultimately, eclipsed all the other. First of all, thanks to our roots, because we are three, Dave, Daniel and I, from there come true! And if seriously, everything looks like a scenery to our film, "says benzacken. - After all, it is known that Morocco with her landscapes is a permanent location for foreign film groups of all the masters.

Our Moroccan experience was a real happiness, both in Marrakesh and in Studios in the city of Ouarzazat, and in the Moroccan desert. "
In the cores of the artist's leading role Kevva Adams, including Algerian and Tunisian blood flowing.
"I was very happy to play an eastern hero, especially the casting sometimes it consists so that most performers have no connection with this part of the world," says the actor. - Morocco is the only country in Maghrib, where I have no family roots. But the story of Aladdin reminded me of those who once told me my Tunisian grandfather. And we saw in Morocco and worked with people who have no big savings, but which are able to share the latter. It really touches, motivates and responds to your soul when you find yourself there. "Adams tricks have fulfilled himself. "He had to pass through the platform. Kev played in the Spirit of Belmondo, with emergency return, energy and desire. His decisiveness in conjunction with youth and naive faintness gave a stunning result, "the director admires the actor.

At that moment I thought that we need to do something similar, "recalls the director. - Close-up, merchants on the streets, bright, motley paints, in short, real clip. And the only day of filming, when we could squeeze it, came on a day with a two-hour sandstorm! Michelle Tordjamman and Maxim Dere wrote music, and Mikael Yun assisted with the text and melody. I needed a shock hit. And we have it - this is "Yalla, Yalla!".
