Samy Naceri makes a big decision
While filming MDR – Death of laughter is about to start, Samy Naceri made a big decision that he wanted to share with his followers on TikTok. “We decided to share lives and videos with you every day since it’s an exceptional moment.

As a reminder, last June, when he was a guest on the show Click (Canal +), Samy Naceri had pitched his film to Mouloud Achour: “This is the story of a wealthy landowner who is jealous of everyone. His wife is cheating on him, they want to steal his loot and he is buried alive. He goes up to heaven and he sees his father, whom I also interpret, who tells him to come back down. So he has a Near Death Experience and he comes back to settle his accounts.” A satirical comedy that we can’t wait to discover!
