“X Large” budget increases to 23 million EGP

The production company for Ahmed Helmy’s upcoming film “X Large” has decided to increase the film’s budget from 20 million to 23 million Egyptian pounds; due to a change in filming locations. Although Helmy kept it quiet about his fees for the film; rumor has it that he has reduced his fee from 8 to 5 million Egyptian pounds; especially after his previous film “Bulbul Hayran” faced huge competition in the last Eid period when it was released then. Helmy has been chosen as a UN Ambassador for their World Food Program, in addition to signing a deal with a food production company to work on the “Food for Education” program.
