CAIRO, 1 June 2005 — Egyptian actress Summaya Al-Khashab has postponed shooting of her film “Al Sa’adah Bain Aideek” for another month due to a conflict with her scheduled vacation with her family in Paris. Summaya agreed to play the leading role alongside Lebanese singers Nicole Saba and Khaled Abu Al Naja. Lebanese director, Ramon Wahbi, agreed to Summaya’s postponement, since Nicole is also busy furnishing her new Cairo apartment.
Summaya has also just completed the final scenes for her upcoming film “Amarit Ya’Qoubain” with prominent Egyptian actors Nour El Sharif and Adel Imam. Summaya plays the role of a poor girl from a conservative family in an Egyptian village.
She wears a hijab, the Islamic headdress, throughout the film to demonstrate her character’s modesty. She falls in love with Nour and marries him, thinking he is the solution to her problems, only to discover her situation has worsened. Lastly, Summaya has just completed the film “Ali Spicy” with Egyptian folk singer Hakim, featuring three duets by the two stars.
