Actor Ahmad El-Ra'fi revealed the details of his character in the upcoming movie "Al-Haras", in which he stars alongside Hani Salama. The film, which is set to be released soon after the final preparations, is eagerly anticipated by the audience.

El-Ra'fi explained that he portrays the character of "Daoud Al-Khayal," a prominent businessman working in the social media field. Daoud is one of the most influential figures in the virtual world, which now controls people's behaviors and directions. He mentioned that his character is mysterious, with complex psychological dimensions, living between a noisy reality and a virtual world that affects his decisions.

El-Ra'fi continued by stating that the film addresses the widespread penetration of social media into daily life. It reflects how this digital world shapes collective consciousness and directly impacts human relationships, both within the family and society as a whole. He added that the film not only presents the issue but delves deep into it, uncovering its hidden aspects, relying on a dramatic vision full of suspense and excitement while maintaining a human touch.

"Al-Haras" is a socially relevant film, discussing a contemporary issue that concerns public opinion, shedding light on the dangers of excessive use of social media, particularly among the youth. It illustrates how these platforms can shift from being entertainment tools to instruments of control and, at times, intellectual domination. The film attempts to deconstruct this dynamic through multiple intersecting characters whose stories intertwine with Daoud's.

The movie also stars a group of notable actors alongside Hani Salama, including Mirihan Hussein, Maram Ali, Ahmad El-Ra'fi, Mahmoud Yaseen Junior, Mohamed Mehran, Bassim Maghnia, and Heba Abdelaziz. The film is written by Tamer Abdel Halim and directed by Yasser Sami, who returns to cinema after focusing on television drama.

El-Ra'fi confirmed that the film includes several scenes shot outside of Egypt, offering a unique visual experience for the audience, enhanced by advanced filming techniques that mirror global cinematic standards.

Regarding the filming process, El-Ra'fi explained that the set was full of cooperation, with careful preparations to ensure a high-quality film that meets the audience's expectations, especially as the movie carries a profound message within a thrilling dramatic context. He also mentioned that playing his character allowed him to discover a new side of his acting abilities, as it required a special psychological preparation and a precise study of the behavior of businessmen involved in digital media.

Additionally, El-Ra'fi revealed details about his upcoming film project "Al-Saa’a 7" (The 7 O'Clock), where he will star alongside actors Mohamed El-Sharnoubi and Mohamed Tharwat. He explained that he will play the role of a musician in a drama with a unique artistic flavor, with filming set to begin in May. While the release date has not yet been confirmed, there are speculations that it will be ready for release during the Eid al-Adha holiday. However, the final decision will be made after the completion of filming and editing.

El-Ra'fi noted that his role as a musician in "Al-Saa’a 7" is entirely different from his character in "Al-Haras", presenting a new acting challenge for him, especially since both projects tackle different themes and target different audiences. He enjoys the challenge of switching from one character to another and always seeks roles that enrich his artistic portfolio, offering opportunities for renewal and growth.

Known for his passion for complex roles, El-Ra'fi has proven his ability to adapt to a wide range of characters, earning increasing critical and public acclaim over the years.

In conclusion, El-Ra'fi expressed his happiness about participating in two significant cinematic projects in a short time, confirming that 2025 will be a year full of works he expects will deepen his connection with the audience. He also expressed his gratitude to the directors and producers who trusted his talent and gave him the chance to play new characters that expand his artistic horizons.

"Al-Haras" is expected to be a standout film in Egyptian cinema this year, offering a socially sensitive narrative, powerful performances, and a visually striking direction with a soundtrack that reflects the tension of our digital-dominated reality. The audience can expect a cinematic experience worth waiting for.
