Main Cast Announced for Film Adaptation of ‘Will You Care if I Die?’

The main cast for the upcoming film adaptation of Nicolas Lunabba’s bestselling memoir Will You Care If I Die? has just been announced.

Nicolas Lunabba will be portrayed by acclaimed actor Peshang Rad (Mafia, Holy Mess, Bäckström) while debutant Rudwan Social will bring the role of Elijah to life. They will be joined by actor and artist Jason “Timbuktu” Diakité (The Crown Jewels, All and Eva) and Sandra Stojiljkovic (The Thin Blue Line, Top Dog, The Bridge), alongside rapper Imen “Imenella” Mohamed, marking his acting debut.

Rad, playing Nicolas Lunabba, says:

“These types of projects are rare, something one truly dreams of as an actor, so it feels fantastic to get the opportunity to portray Nic. It’s not a mere role, it is also a real-life fate and that’s a big responsibility to step into. I see Nic as a hero – but with flaws. A person who fights, falls, yet tries to do the right thing. He’s not perfect, but he acts. That’s where the real heroic deed lies.”

At the helm of the production is director Rojda Sekersöz (Young Royals), who is joined by screenwriter Wictor Ericsson (Halfway to Heaven, Strawberry Days). The film is produced by Nordic Drama Queens and will be distributed by Nordisk Film. Filming has commenced in the Malmö area, and the film is set to premiere in Fall 2026.
