D’Jalle will meet you on February 7, 2024 in the cinema to discover the rest of his adventures! Distributor Sony Pictures Entertainment France has just shared the release date for Operation Portugal 2.
Thus, this sequel will be released barely three years after the release of the first part, which was a huge success (more than 450,000 admissions) in June 2021, during a difficult time for theater attendance.
Comedian D’JalFrank Cimieri, famous for his sketch on The Portuguese, will again direct. Both have signed the script for this second film, the synopsis of which is still unknown. Titled Operation Portugal 2: Castle Life, we can still find some hints about the plot to come!
Operation Portugal’s first opus follows 35-year-old Hakim, a friendly neighborhood cop of Moroccan descent. He must infiltrate Portuguese society for investigative purposes. But can you become Portuguese in three days?
Especially when we know that Hakeem is a walking disaster when it comes to interference. His clumsiness and misfortune transform many of his initiatives into cataclysms. The costume is obviously too big for her!
Hakeem, who lives alone with his mother, is quickly torn between his feelings and his mission, discovering a community but also a family.
This first feature film was inspired by the greatest success of this comedian from the Jamel Comedy Club, the sketch Le Portugais, a sequence that was particularly noted thanks to Marrakech du laughter. The video of this sketch (see 3 min.58 in the video above) has 20 million views on YouTube.

As director Frank Cimieri explains, “This project was born in D’Jalle’s head, and his head is a mess, a thousand ideas per second. He took this Portuguese character and came up with the idea of casting him as an undercover cop. Which fits him like a glove.
My role in the beginning was to organize all his ideas and tell the story. With characters we believe in.”
