Principal photography is set to begin in September.

Youssef was recently seen in the films “Shaqo” and "Welad Rizk 3".

Youssef, born on December 23, 1980, began his career in entertainment with television commercials and music videos.

Thereafter, veteran actor Nour Al Sherif brought his talents to the public’s attention when he was cast in the TV series “Al Daly” in 2007. Following this crucial step forward, Youssef’s career took off.

Since then, he appeared in “Nour Ainy” (2010), “Rad Fa’al” (2011), and the popular 2013 Ramadan drama series “Niran Sadeeka” (Friendly Fire).

Youssef is known for his roles in the films “Hepta: The Last Lecture”, “Welad Rezk”, and “Rad Faal”.

He is also known for his roles in TV series such as “Grand Hotel”, “Zarf Aswad”, “Ad Tanazoly”, “Niran Sadeeka”, and “Al Moatn X”.

Youssef is considered one of the biggest Egyptian stars and heartthrobs. In 2017, the actor tied the knot to Syrian actress Kinda Alloush after announcing their engagement in late November 2016.

The couple tied the knot in a huge wedding at the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan, amid the attendance of a large number of actors and public figures, on January 20.

They welcomed their first child, a girl named Hayat, on November 2nd, 2019.
