Ashraf Zaki Sets Clear Conditions for Resuming “Rouh OFF” Filming
Ashraf Zaki, head of the Actors Syndicate, clarified the syndicate’s final stance on the “Rouh OFF” series crisis, stressing that resuming filming depends on full compliance with union regulations
Ashraf Zaki, head of Egypt’s Actors Syndicate, addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding the TV series “Rouh OFF”, making it clear that the syndicate has no objection to resuming filming — provided all regulations are strictly followed.
🎭 A Non-Negotiable Condition
Zaki emphasized that excluding blogger “Om Jaser” from the series is a mandatory requirement. Once implemented, filming can resume immediately without further delay.
⚖️ Law Before Anything Else
He reaffirmed that the syndicate does not oppose artistic work or creativity, but remains committed to enforcing professional laws equally, in order to protect the acting profession and its members.
🚫 Reason Behind the Suspension
The Actors Syndicate had previously announced the suspension of “Rouh OFF” and banned it from airing during the Ramadan 2026 season, due to repeated violations of union regulations despite multiple warnings.
📹 The Key Violation
The latest violation involved a circulating video showing the producer contracting with “Om Jaser” to participate in a dramatic production — a direct breach of union rules prohibiting the hiring of non-registered individuals without official permits.
🔒 Firm and Final Stance
The syndicate confirmed it will not tolerate any attempts to bypass the law, stressing that protecting the profession and ensuring equal opportunities remain top priorities.
⚠️ No Reversal
The Actors Syndicate concluded by stating that the decision to suspend “Rouh OFF” is final and irreversible, in full commitment to the law and professional integrity.
