⭐ Ahmed Mekky Returns to the Big Screen
Ahmed Mekky is preparing for his long-awaited return to cinema through “Happy Chance,” a social comedy starring Maged El Kedwany.
The film combines comedy with human and social situations, focusing heavily on the relationship between its two main characters.
🎥 Production has already begun, with the team currently working on the remaining scenes before moving into the final stages of post-production.
😂 Ahmed Mekky as a Personal Assistant
Mekky plays a married man whose life changes when he begins working as the personal assistant of a wealthy businessman portrayed by Maged El Kedwany.
El Kedwany’s character is a wheelchair user who owns a major company.
👀 Their different backgrounds and circumstances create the central source of many of the film’s comic and dramatic situations.
🤝 A New Reunion Between Mekky and El Kedwany
The film marks another collaboration between Ahmed Mekky and Maged El Kedwany.
🎬 The two actors previously appeared together in successful films such as “Teer Enta” in 2009 and “La Tarago’ Wala Esteslam” in 2010.
Their previous collaborations were known for their comic chemistry, making their reunion particularly interesting for Egyptian cinema audiences.
This time, however, the relationship between their characters is built around a professional connection that gradually develops into something more complicated.
🏢 A Businessman and His Personal Assistant
El Kedwany plays a wealthy businessman who owns a large company and lives with a disability.
Mekky enters his world as a personal assistant.
💡 The contrast between the two characters creates opportunities to explore dependence, responsibility, social differences and everyday challenges while maintaining the film’s comedic tone.
❤️ A Strong Human Element
Although the film is primarily described as a social comedy, its premise leaves room for a strong emotional dimension.
Mekky’s character has a wife and his own family responsibilities before entering this new professional environment.
Meanwhile, El Kedwany’s character has his own personal and professional world.
🎭 As their lives become increasingly connected, their relationship moves beyond a simple employer-employee dynamic.
🎬 Ahmed El Gendy Directs the Film
Ahmed El Gendy directs the film and also co-writes the screenplay with Mohamed Ezz and Sameh Gamal.
El Gendy has previously collaborated with Ahmed Mekky on several successful comedy projects.
🔥 Their reunion gives the new film another connection to Mekky’s previous comedy work while introducing a completely different story.
🌟 The Cast of Happy Chance
The film features several Egyptian stars alongside Mekky and El Kedwany, including:
🎭 Fadwa Abed
🎭 Bayoumi Fouad
🎭 Rahma Ahmed
🎭 Yara El-Sokary
🎭 Donia Samy
🎭 Lubna Wans
🎭 Mohamed Abdel Rahman
Several other performers are also expected to appear in supporting and guest roles.
🎭 Fadwa Abed as Mekky’s Wife
Fadwa Abed plays the wife of Mekky’s character.
Her presence adds another dimension to the story because Mekky’s character must balance his family life with the unexpected changes brought by his new job.
🏠 His professional relationship with El Kedwany’s character is therefore expected to affect more than just his working life.
🔄 Why Was the Film’s Title Changed?
The film was originally titled “Happy Chance” before the filmmakers changed it to “Happy Chance Very Much.”
The title was changed after another production appeared with the same name.
📌 The new title was selected to give the film a distinct identity and avoid confusion among audiences.
🎥 Mekky’s Return After “Samir Abu El Nil”
The project marks Ahmed Mekky’s return to cinema after a long absence.
His last major cinematic appearance was “Samir Abu El Nil” in 2013, after which he focused heavily on television.
During those years, he became particularly associated with the hugely popular “El Kebeer Awy” franchise.
🎬 His return through a completely different character is therefore expected to introduce another side of his cinematic performance.
😂 Why Are Audiences Waiting for the Film?
The reunion between Mekky and El Kedwany is one of the film’s biggest attractions.
After their previous collaborations, audiences are curious to see whether their comic chemistry will return in a story that has a stronger social and human foundation.
🔥 Mekky’s long absence from cinema also adds to the anticipation surrounding the project.
⏳ When Will Happy Chance Be Released?
The production team is currently completing the remaining scenes.
The filming schedule has been moving toward completion by the end of September, after which the project will enter the final preparation and post-production stages.
🎬 The official cinema release date will be announced after the film is fully completed and prepared for distribution.
✨ A Character-Driven Comedy
The central idea behind “Happy Chance” is built around two very different characters.
A married man takes a new job as a personal assistant, while a wealthy businessman living with a disability becomes dependent on his professional support.
💡 Their relationship creates opportunities for comedy, social commentary and emotional development.
🌟 Conclusion
“Happy Chance” brings together several elements that have attracted audience attention: Ahmed Mekky’s return to cinema, his reunion with Maged El Kedwany, another collaboration with director Ahmed El Gendy and a story built around an unusual relationship between a personal assistant and a wealthy businessman.
