Mem Ferda says, I cant wait for Miss You Already to be released later on in the year Im really excited for the films reception as its something completely new for me. Working with two amazing actresses, Drew and Toni, was a dream come true and the script was equally remarkable. I think this film will touch a lot of people, and it was great to be involved in a classic romantic comedy. This is a fresh role for me, my fans are used to seeing me portray gangsters and baddies so I hope they like watching Ahmed as much as I enjoyed playing him.
