The latest death rumor started circulating before he traveled to Lebanon to complete filming his serial “Nagy Attalla’s Team.” Adel Imam questioned the sources and the motives behind the rumors. He told a local Egyptian daily newspaper that he had received many condolence letters and text messages on his mobile phone. Imam said that he replied and sarcastically thanked the senders for the messages. Imam refused to connect the delayed shoot of the production to the death rumors.
