Why did you get excited about the role of the fatal psychopath in the movie The Blue Elephant?

There are many reasons that prompted me to accept the film without hesitation, the most important of which is that the character I have not embodied in my life before and secondly because the movie is huge and the first part achieved overwhelming success, and the entire staff for me is an attraction.

How did you attend a mentally ill person dressed by the jinn, and is the movie considered harmful to children because it promotes the jinn?

The character was written very brilliantly by the author Ahmed Murad and we did a lot of work sessions until the character came out with these details, and for the occasion of the film for children, I do not think that all children can watch it, as it is classified over 12 years old, and of course the film contains a large amount of imagination so I do not find It has a problem provided that children see it at the appropriate age.

Have your daughters seen the movie?

No.. Hend Sabri responds.. It did not happen for one reason, which is that they are too young to watch a work that has dimensions and fantasies and at the age that suits them and allows them to understand the work. I will certainly make them watch it with pleasure.

She agreed to participate as a guest of honor in the movie Al-Mamar with Ahmed Ezz and director Sherif Arafa, so what about this experience and the small role that you presented?

I consider the movie Al-Mamar a very important movie in the history of cinema and it tells the story of a real Arab and Egyptian heroism that motivates new generations and presents a patriotic and national message. One of the most important reasons for my enthusiasm, as well as the presence of Ahmed Ezz, a dear Kifah friend, is one of the important reasons for my love for this movie and my happiness with the experience. It achieved a very great public and critical success, and its revenues exceeded 75 million pounds, although it is an epic and patriotic work, and this is a great thing and confirms that good art imposes itself.

She was absent from the drama last year.. What is the reason?

It is my habit that I never Two series in a row, I always miss and then come back With a series, and this is what happened this year, I decided to rest until I find the right job and when it appears I will be immediately present in the drama, especially since my last experience is the “Halwat Al-Dunya” series, one of the experiences that I cherish in my artistic life and I am proud of for the last day of my life to talk about cancer patients and give them great hope.
