Mohamed Ramadan sends his touching condolences after death of worker during concert
Singer Mohamed Ramadan offered his condolences to the death of a worker at a concert on Thursday evening at the Porto Marina Theater in the North Coast. The concert, which drew a large audience, was cut short due to an unfortunate accident. An explosion occurred in one of the fire show cylinders, resulting in the death of a young worker and the injury of six other staff members. This led to the concert being cut short before its scheduled start. The singer offered his condolences to the family of worker Hossam Hassan, who died during the concert. He posted a video on his official Instagram account, saying, 'I offer my condolences to Hossam's family. May God grant them patience and heal the injured. May God have mercy on him and grant him a place in heaven.' Ramadan shared several photos of the concert, saying 'This concert, just as the audience enjoyed it, there was someone who passed away during it. So, every time I think of it, I'll pray for him and I hope you don't forget him and continue praying for him, asking God to have mercy on his soul.' He added, 'Of course, when I saw what had happened, I stopped the concert immediately, went down with the guests, and helped transport the injured. I thank the audience for their understanding of the situation.' Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm

A sneak peek at Mohamed Ramadan's new film Assad - Screens - Arts & Culture
Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan shared a few photos from the shooting location of his highly anticipated film Assad (Lion), set for release this year, on his Instagram account. Over the past weeks, Ramadan has also released other photos and videos presenting different scenes from the film. In Assad, Ramadan portrays Ali ibn Muhammad, who led the Zanj Rebellion, a major revolt against the Abbasid Caliphate (from 869 to 883). The film is directed and co-written by Mohamed Diab, a filmmaker also known for writing and directing 678 (2010), Eshtebak (Clash, 2016), among other works. Diab also directed episodes one, three, five, and six of Marvel Studios' TV mini-series Moon Knight and was the co-executive producer of the whole series. Although the date of the film's release has not been announced yet, the audience expected cinemas to show it during Eid Al-Adha in June. However, it was postponed, with some media sources pointing to December this year. The film creators clarified that the grand production requires extensive work to ensure the best results in terms of picture, sound, music, locations, visual effects, and other factors. The film features 70 actors, including 12 major stars and special guests from Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, and Sudan. It also includes 50 supporting actors — some in single yet pivotal scenes. Besides Ramadan, the main cast includes Razane Jammal, Kamel El-Basha, Aly Kassem, Maged El-Kedwany, Rakeen Saad, and Islam Mubarak. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
