Hailing from director Ahmed Al Najjar, the film is set in a working-class neighborhood and tackles daily issues in a simple style that relies on comedy derived from reality.

Given all the players involved in the project, "El Warsha" is one of the most anticipated films in 2026.

Maged, born on April 26, 1980, graduated from Cairo University.

During university, he created the Tamr Hendi production company with his friends which produced films that ridiculed famous Egyptian films.

They created film “Men who do not know the impossible”, a project that attracted the attention of Mohamed Hefzy, who at the time was trying his hand at production.

Hefzy produced their first TV series “Afeesh wa Tashbeeh” that tackled Egyptian classics in a cynical way in each episode.

He also produced the trio's 2008 film "Waraqat Shifra" which was a big hit at the box office.

Maged starred and scripted the film which familiarized his face to the audience. He won the award of the “Best New Faces” Award for the year, in participation with his mates Ahmed Sabry and Chico.
