Marking a major milestone and an exciting new chapter in her international career, Italian-Tunisian actress Maya Talem joins the star-studded cast of the international feature Maserati: The Brothers, alongside Hollywood icons Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Jessica Alba and Andy Garcia, as well as Michele Morrone and Salvatore Esposito.
Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Bobby Moresco (Crash) and produced by Andrea Iervolino, the film tells the story of the family behind one of Italy’s most iconic luxury automotive brands. Talem portrays Rosa Maserati, the wife of Ettore Maserati, placing her at the heart of one of the film’s key emotional and human storylines.
Talem recently joined MAD Rising Celebrity, MAD Celebrity’s initiative dedicated to supporting distinctive rising acting talents from the Arab world and advancing their presence within the international film industry. MAD Celebrity now exclusively represents Talem before production companies and media outlets.
Talem’s involvement in the international production extends beyond her acting performance, highlighting her versatility as an artist. She performs a solo song in both Italian and English as part of the film, while also contributing to the film’s official song alongside global stars Andrea Bocelli and Jennifer Hudson.
The unique multilingual collaboration is written by Academy Award-nominated songwriter Diane Warren, with Talem performing her part in Arabic, Bocelli in Italian and Hudson in English. The song brings together three languages and distinct artistic identities, creating a musical and cultural bridge within the film.
Maserati: The Brothers brings together an impressive ensemble of internationally acclaimed actors, led by screen legends Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Jessica Alba and Andy Garcia, alongside Michele Morrone and Salvatore Esposito.
The project marks another significant achievement in Talem’s career, following a successful body of work across Europe.
