Khaberni - Egyptian artist Taha Desouki revealed for the first time the details of his attempt to join the "Masrah Masr" troupe, founded by artist Ashraf Abdel Baky in 2013, which was then a prominent gateway for the emergence of a new generation of comedy stars in Egypt.
During an interview with media figure Lamis Elhadidi on the show "Al Sora" on Al Nahar channel, Desouki explained that he actually applied to join the troupe and submitted all the required documents. However, he did not reach the stage of rehearsals or direct tests supervised by artist Ashraf Abdel Baky, confirming he did not meet him during the application period.
The Actual Reason
Desouki clarified that the real reason behind not completing the joining procedures was the scheduling of the initial rehearsals coinciding with his sister's wedding ceremony, which led him to withdraw in favor of staying with his family on that occasion.
For his part, artist Ashraf Abdel Baky expressed his astonishment at this story, which he was not aware of.
It should be noted that the "Masrah Masr" project was a launching point for a number of young stars who have become prominent faces of comedy in recent years and lasted for six seasons, achieving wide success among the Egyptian and Arab audiences.
"The Honorable Gentlemen"
Artists Taha Desouki and Ashraf Abdel Baky will come together in a new film titled "The Honorable Gentlemen," scheduled for release in Egyptian cinemas tomorrow, Wednesday, October 22 (October), and will be shown in other Arab countries starting from October 30 (October), following its world premiere at the El Gouna Film Festival.
The film stars Mohamed Mamdouh, Taha Desouki, Mohamed Shahin, Ashraf Abdel Baky, Bayoumi Fouad, Intisar, Ali Subhi, Nahed El Sebaei, Hanadi Menna, Michelle Milad, Ismail Farghali, Hanan Soliman, Donia Maher, and is produced by Mostafa Saqr, Mohamed Ezz El Din, and Karim El Shanawy.
The film offers a mix of comedy and social drama through a humorous conflict between two families from different environments, one rural and the other from the capital, as their lives intertwine due to a familial relation, leading to a series of satirical situations and contradictions that highlight the disparities in customs and traditions in Egyptian society.
