“Cell 7” to be released in Eid al-Adha

CAIRO – 8 July 2020: The cast of "Cell 7" resume filming the movie after a halt of over a year due to various reasons, among which is the COVID-19 outbreak. The film is set to be released in the Eid al-Adha holidays.

“Cell 7” stars Ahmed Zaher, Nidal el-Shafei, Abeer Sabri, Maya Nasry, Menna Fadhali, Ehab Fahmy, Medhat Tikha, Ahmed el-Tohamy, Amy Islam, Mostafa Haredy, Ashraf Abdel Aziz and Ayman Keshk. It is written by Hossam Mousa and directed by Abram Nashaat. The specific date for the movie's release in cinemas is yet to be disclosed.

Maya Nasry has just started filming her scenes in the movie as she arrived in Cairo two days ago, after being stuck in Lebanon for the past three months due to the suspension of aviation because of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Nidal el-Shafei, one of the protagonists of the movie, embodies Mansour, a man who gets imprisoned. Ahmed Zaher embodies Harbi, who is just an ordinary man who gets caught up in a chain of problems that eventually causes him to be detained. Mansour and Harbi end up meeting each other in Cell 7, hence the name of the movie.
