The film’s release will cover 18 MENA countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
This significant expansion was made possible through an international distribution partnership that provides access to the region’s largest cinema chains and digital platforms.
The MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) has long been known for its warm reception of Turkish cinema. Turkish TV series and films enjoy immense popularity across the region, and their actors often become widely recognized stars. Now, "Şımarık" (Son of a Rich) — a vibrant, dynamic, and emotionally rich story — continues this tradition, strengthening the cultural ties between Turkey and the Arab world.
"Şımarık" (Son of a Rich) blends lightness, genuine humor, and deep emotion, allowing it to resonate with audiences from different cultural backgrounds. Its characters encounter life situations that anyone can relate to — this universality makes the film familiar and engaging for viewers around the world.
The release of the film across the Middle East and North Africa not only reinforces the presence of Turkish cinema on the international stage but also highlights the growing influence of Kunay Film as one of the leading companies promoting national projects abroad. The company continues to develop a systematic cultural exchange strategy, creating new opportunities for Turkish directors and producers.
"Şımarık" (Son of a Rich) has become a symbol of modern Turkish cinema — lively, emotional, and globally minded. Its premieres in multiple countries affirm that Turkish cinema is increasingly establishing itself in the global film landscape, uniting audiences through a universal language of emotion and humanity.
