Cairo – Mohamed Allouch
The producer of Egyptian soap, ‘Madraset Al Ahlam’, Osama Rashad, denied all press reports regarding the refusal of actress Mervat Amin to take part in scenes in which students are filmed only wearing swim suits. Reports had stated that Amin had asked the producer not to go ahead with the scenes, arguing that the attire was not suitable for a series which will be watch by Egyptian and Arab families. Rashad said in a statement to Arabstoday, that the scenes have yet to be filmed, so he does not know where this news has come from, referring to the reports which also suggested that there is a dispute between actress Gehan Amary and the director over the same issue. He added that filming of the series has now stopped and will resume at the beginning of October in Cairo, before moving to Porto Marina and Porto El Sokhna later the same month. He also said that only more week of filming remains before the series is ready to broadcast. “Madreaset Al Ahlam” stars Mervat Amin, Gehan Fadel, Lotfy Labib, Samy Maghawry, Ahmed Syam, Gehan Amary, Hagag Abdel Azeem, Ingy Abdallah and Reem Helal. The series is written by Ahmed Ataa, directed by Adel Kotb and produced by Sound of Cairo Company.
