Egyptian actor, Ahmed El Sakka will not participate in Ramadan 2020 drama marathon since he is busy with his new film “El-Ankaboot” (The Spider).

He participated last Ramadan with TV series "Weld El-Ghalaba", which gained great success during its premiere time.

The Spider is scheduled to be released in theaters in 2020.

The film is written by Mohamed Nayer and directed by Nader Galal.

Moreover, Egyptian actor Mohamed Mamdouh will make a special appearance in the film. This will be their collaboration together after co-starring in film "Ibrahim Labyad", and TV series "Weld El-Ghalaba".

The plot revolves around a man (played by El Sakka) entering the Mafia scene because of his brother (played by El Abidine), who arrives from abroad and enters into many conflicts with him.
