Lebanese superstar, Elissa recorded a new song titled "Ma Tekhzelnish" for the sequel to the 2001 romance-drama film “El Sellem Wel Teban: Leab Eyal” (“The Ladder and The Snake: Child's Play”).
The track is by the lyrics of Menna el Kiey and composed by Aziz Elshafei.
It is set to be released on Thursday (October 30) on YouTube and digital music platforms.
“El Sellem Wel Teban: Leab Eyal” stars Amr Youssef, Asmaa Galal, Dhafer L’Abidine, Maged El Masry, Nicole Saafan, and more.
Tarek Alarian, the film’s original director and co-writer, is also returning to helm the sequel.
Alarian directed the pic from a script written by Ahmed Hosny.
The upcoming film is being touted to be entirely different from the first film, both in terms of visual style and character development.
It reunites Galal and Youssef for the second time after collaborating in 2024's "Welad Rizk 3: El Qadya".
The film also witnesses the fourth collaboration between Alarian and Youssef after the Welad Rizk franchise.
"El Sellem Wel Teban: Leab Eyal” Hits theaters across Egypt on November 11 and worldwide on November 13.
The sequel was announced at the 7th edition of the El Gouna Film Festival in October 2024.
The original film starred Hani Salama, Ahmed Helmy, Hala Shiha, Ragaa Al-Geddawy, Tarek El Tilmisany, and more. Alarian directed the pic from a script he co-wrote with Mohamed Hefzy.
“El Sellem Wel Teban” is centered around Hazem, a reckless young man, who fails at being a good husband and father. His life changes when he meets Yasmin, and they both face issues that force them to fall in love with each other.
The film went through many stages during its preparations, during which Hefzy wrote the script in English.
Al-Aryan was very enthusiastic about the project, which was different from the films available at that time. At one point, Ahmed El Sakka was nominated for the work, but he refused to star in it because he was not convinced by its plot.
