CAIRO, 19 April 2005 — Egyptian singer Mohammad Foad is scheduled to visit Greece in a few days along with the cast of his new film “Ghawi Hubb” to begin shooting the first scenes. Foad finally made a deal with Ahmad Al-Badri to direct the film after the withdrawal of director Mohammad Kamal Al-Shinawi.
Foad has chosen the gulf of Greece to be the first shooting location after which he will return to Cairo and then to Sharm El Sheikh to film the remaining scenes. Foad has reportedly begun a very strict diet before he plays his role in the film, which includes action scenes that he must be fit to perform.
The film had been going through endless obstacles making the singer lose hope in it ever being completed. First the producer, Majdi Al Huwari, pulled out followed by leading actress Hala Shiha, who stopped showing for shooting sessions.
The movie revolves around a young man who falls into numerous relationships, leading his brother, who is a cop, to seek his help in catching a drug smuggler. The cop suggests that his brother lure the daughter of the smuggler into an affair with him in order to catch her father, but fate makes him actually fall in love with her and a dilemma begins of what he must do.
