Shalaby can be seen in the rom-com film "Al Hawa Sultan".

The cast also stars Ahmed Dawood, Ahmed Khaled Saleh, Sawsan Badr, Gihan El Shamashergy, and more. The film hails from Heba Yousry and is produced by Sea Cinema Productions.

"Al Hawa Sultan" is Shalaby and Dawood's second collaboration after the 2016 film “Al Ma’ wal Khodra wal Wajh al Hassan” (Brooks, Meadows, and Lovely Faces).

The official synopsis reads: "The deep friendship between Sara and Ali that dates back to their elementary school days. As the years passed, they became inseparable, sharing every detail of their daily lives. Their lives revolve around a daily routine of meetings, conversations, and shared adventures. Each finds in the other the ideal friend and constant companion. However, as time goes by, things begin to change, and the relationship between Sara and Ali continues to evolve as they meet new friends."

Shalaby, born on July 24, 1981, is the daughter of former belly dancer and actress Zizi Mustafa. She is one of the brightest actresses among the younger generation of Egyptian stars.

The actress showed a passion for acting from a very early age, no doubt due to the exposure to the industry her mother’s fame provided.

Shalaby made her film debut in “Al Saher” (The Magician) as Nour in 2001. She scored her next role alongside prominent actress Layla Elwy in the 2004 film “Baheb El Seema”.

Since then, she co-starred with many talented actors and directors such as renowned director Youssef Chahine in the film “Heya Fawda” (2007), Ahmed Abdallah in the film “Microphone” (2010), and Yousry Nasrallah in the film “Baad el Mawkeaa” (2012) about the infamous Battle of the Camel during the January 25 uprising.
