Producer Hani Osama (The Producers) revealed that Egyptian star Ahmed Fahmy will be landing the leading role as Raouf in Ana Shahira..

Based on the novel-duology Ana Sahira and Ana El Kha'en by author Noor Abdulmajeed, the new TV series is set to be released in two parts consisting of 30 episodes for each part, narrating the same story but from different points of view for the first time in the Arab TV drama.


Directed by Ahmed Medhat, marking his second collaboration with The Producers since Zarf Aswad (The Black Envelope), the series is scripted by the original novel's author Noor Abdulmajeed.

Previously, it was revealed that Yasmin Raeis is landing in the leading female role as Shahira, Ahmed Fouad Selim will be starring as her father Medhat Abdel Rahman, Hanan Seliman as the mother, and Yaser Ali Maher as the uncle.


Ana Shahira and Ana El Kha'en is a novel-duology written by author Noor Abdulmajeed, based on real-life events, and published by Al Dar Al Masriah Al Lubnaniah in 2013, in two separate books. Abdulmajeed recounts the story from the perspectives of its two main characters, Shahira and Raouf, each in a separate book. The first book presents the story as experienced by Shahira, and the second book is from Raouf's, her partner, point of view. Infidelity and revenge make up the central idea of the story.
