The upcoming film, directed by Moataz Al Touni from a screenplay by Sharif El Leithy, is being positioned as a large-scale commercial project blending action and comedy. Filmmakers are hoping to capitalize on the established chemistry between El Sakka and Abdelaziz, which first captivated audiences in the early 2000s during the height of commercial theater in Egypt.

Filming is scheduled to begin in a Cairo studio within the coming days, with expectations that the film will be a major contender during the next film season, provided current audience anticipation remains strong.
Abdelaziz’s return to cinema coincides with her current work on the series “Wensa Elly Kan” (Let’s Forget What Was), slated to air during the upcoming Ramadan season. Meanwhile, El Sakka is preparing for his new film “Hiroshima,” which also features a wide range of leading Egyptian drama stars.
