Ahmad Al Fishawy Starts Filming El Lea'ba Shemal


Within the next few weeks, Egyptian star Ahmad Al Fishawy will start shooting his new romantic comedy film El Lea'ba Shemal. The film is produced by Nahed Farid Shawki marking her comeback to Egyptian cinema after a 13-year hiatus.

Commenting on his new film, Al Fishawy stated, "The film is a fun experience for many reasons as it witnesses producer Nahed Farid Shawki's comeback to Egyptian cinema after 13 years of absence. The film is also scripted by the late director/writer Medhat El Sebaie and is directed by first-timer Mariam Ahmady in her directorial debut."

Recently, Al Fishawy received the Best Actor Award at the 42nd Egyptian Cinema Film Association Festival for his role in Out of Order.

El Lea'ba Shemal is a romantic comedy that traces the love story of a young couple who find difficulties in getting married. Their life changes when their employer offers them an enticing deal that puts their love to the ultimate test.

Directed by Mariam Ahmady, El Lea'ba Shemal stars Ahmad Al Fishawy, Ghada Abdel Razek and Nahed El Sebai. The film is written by the late director/writer Medhat El Sebaie before his death and the script is revamped by Ola Abdel Rahman.
