00:00I'm proud to be the first Emirati action fighter in the movies.

00:04I'm playing as a jujitsu player.

00:06That's what I do in real life, not just an act.

00:14Hi, it's Ali Al Shouk from Gulf News.

00:16Today we have a special guest with us in Gulf News, Mr. Adel Al Hillawi.

00:21He is the first Emirati action actor, actually.

00:25He will be acting in an action movie.

00:27It's the first Emirati action movie, which is going to be launched in October in cinemas.

00:32Why did you choose the action movie?

00:33I think that part of action or that kind of drama is not in our cinema.

00:38I mean, I'm talking about the Gulf, GCC and Emirati movie.

00:43They are not that part, which is related to the fighting scenes in the cinema.

00:48So from that perspective, I prefer to go for that kind of movie.

00:53Can you tell us more about the action movie, The Unbeatable Fighter?

00:58It's the first ever Emirati action movie talking about martial arts.

01:02This is a very nice movie and a very attractive movie for the Emirati cinemas.

01:06So it will be launched on the 3rd of October.

01:08That movie contains many things, like romance part, black comedy and the real fighting.

01:16The movie contains real fighting.

01:19I'm playing as a jujitsu player.

01:22That's what I do in real life, not just an act.

01:25What's your feeling as the first Emirati action actor?

01:29I am proud to be the first Emirati action fighter in the movies.

01:34I feel myself I'm lucky, because honestly, there's a lot of good players in jujitsu also.

01:39My first shot, I wasn't nervous, because that's what I really do in the jujitsu.

01:46That's my daily doing.

01:48But my hardest part was to talk, to change my shape as an evil one.

01:55That's the hardest one.

01:56What's the impression you received from people when you told them that you're going to act in an action movie?

02:02All the people are surprised about how the Emirati movie will look like.

02:06When I go to those people, I mean the fighters, because we have fighters from everywhere.

02:12Most of the parts of the world, like Russia and Japanese.

02:16And they were saying, are you going to fight with us in Kandora?

02:21I said, no, no, come on.

02:24What's the challenge you had with the director of making a proper villain act in this movie?

02:31It really was tough, you know, to change your character to a villain.

02:36I put all my power in the training, in the fighting, real fighting.

02:41But in the normal life, trust me, I'm a good person.

02:44But to change that character, that was really difficult.

02:47Do you have any certain message you want to say to the viewers

02:51and the people who are going to attend and watch the movie?

02:53One of the movie messages is related to the sportsmanship.

02:58Actually, that kind of conduct, I realized that somebody is,

03:03when he becomes very good in that skill and martial arts skills, he misuses that skill.

03:11In our movie, we speak about this.

03:13Even if you are good in that martial arts or in that skills, you have to control yourself.

03:18You have to show the sportsmanship.

03:21It's nothing like you take revenge.

03:23You use all your power to take, you know, to be a glory.

03:27No, it's nothing like that.

03:28What's the message from the movie?

03:29This is the main message, actually, to be honest with you.

03:31How long did it take you to record the whole movie?

03:34We worked hard for one and a half years to produce this movie.

03:40We have more than 23 nationalities in different parts of the world.

03:46And the actors also, we have many actors.

03:48We have real fighters in many kinds of martial arts.

03:52We recorded this whole movie in Abu Dhabi.

03:55The unbeatable fighting is waiting for you guys in the cinema.
