The makers of the film "The City’s Story," starring Ahmed Helmy and produced by Media Hub, have resumed preparations for the project, which is set in a specific historical period. According to exclusive sources, the production company is currently finalizing the cast and crew in preparation for the official start of filming. The film is expected to stand out with its unique storyline and modern cinematic techniques.
The film is written by Khaled and Sherine Diab and directed by Mohamed Shaker Khedir, marking a new collaboration between Helmy and Khedir after the success of "One Tani." Helmy is known for his diverse roles, making him one of the leading stars in Egyptian cinema today.
Helmy's latest cinematic project was "One Tani," which achieved widespread success and featured stars such as Ruby, Sayed Ragab, Nour Ehab, and Ahmed Malek. The film tells the story of a prison officer who discovers he has lost his passion for life and seeks to regain it through an unexpected invention.
Additionally, Helmy has a guest appearance in the film "Al Set," a biographical drama about the legendary Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum, written by Ahmed Mourad and directed by Marwan Hamed. The film highlights Umm Kulthum's extraordinary artistic journey.
On the theater front, Helmy received significant praise for his performance in the play "Beni Adam," which was showcased at the Riyadh Season. The play, which also starred Mustafa Khater, Iman El-Sayed, Hamdy El-Merghany, and others, garnered a great response from the Arab audience and was widely praised by critics and the public.
It is expected that "The City’s Story" will achieve similar success to Helmy's previous works, especially with its profound screenplay by Khaled and Sherine Diab, which tackles an important period in history. The film is also expected to offer a distinctive cinematic experience under the direction of Mohamed Shaker Khedir, building on his previous successes with Helmy.
