Actor Murad Makram recently stirred discussions after sharing his opinion on the film “El Set” via Facebook. He explained that he initially refrained from commenting due to perceived bias against Mona Zaki, noting it is customary to watch the film before forming judgments. Makram also praised director Dr. Khaled Galal, who discovered many of today’s stars, emphasizing his professional insight and acknowledging that everyone is free to express their own opinion.
“El Set” focuses on key moments in the life of legendary singer Umm Kulthum, from her early musical journey to her struggle with hyperthyroidism, which impacted her vocal cords and caused eye protrusion. The film portrays her determination to undergo surgery despite the serious risks to her career.
Mona Zaki plays Umm Kulthum, depicting her on stage performing before a diverse audience from different provinces, while internally grappling with fear and anxiety caused by her illness. The movie combines dramatic tension with human emotion, delivering a compelling cinematic experience.
