Production has begun on “Azma,” a film based on iconic author Mohamed Sadek's 2020 novel, which has been a bestseller for years.
Ahmed Dawood, Salma Abu Deif, Jessica Hossam Eldin, Hamza Diab, and Passant Shawky round out the cast.
The adaptation marks Abu Deif and Dawood's third collaboration after the 2020 TV series Zienhom and the 2022 high-end Arabic remake of Suits.
It is scripted by Sadek, who will make his feature directorial debut with the upcoming project, and is set to be produced by Hany Osama's The Producers.
Dawood appeared last onscreen in the 2024 romance feature "Al Hawa Sultan" and Abu Deif in the 2024 film "Leeh Teasheha Lewahdak".
