Mahmoud Abdel Moghni Exits TV Adaptation Of "Gary El Wohosh"

Egyptian actor Mahmoud Abdel Moghni is no longer involved in the TV adaptation of Egyptian screenwriter Mahmoud Abou Zeid's 1987 masterpiece film "Gary El Wohosh".

In June 2023, producer Mahrous El-Masry contracted with Abou Zeid's family to transform the plot of the film into a TV series to screen during the Ramadan 2024 drama marathon.

Nedal El Shafey is also attached to star in the upcoming adaptation, which hails from scriptwriter Ahmed Sobhy and director Abdulaziz Hashad, the team behind the TV series "Layl Om Elbanat".

In a statement, El-Masry indicated that he was happy with this contract as he had for years been considering turning the film into a series, however, Abu Zaid's death in 2016 put an end to that, this was until he signed a deal with his family.

"Gary El Wohosh" featured an A-list cast that included Nour El-Sherif, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Hussein Fahmy, Nora, Hussein El-Sherbiny, and Hoda Ramzy.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ali Abdel-Khalek, "Gary El Wohosh" depicts the story of 4 men: Dr. Nabil, a doctor who attempts to treat his friend Said infertilely through a secret illegal experiment.

The operation entails transplanting a part of a brain, and here comes poor man Abdul Qawi who sells it for money to improve his life.

All the while, Abdul Hakeem, Said and Nabil's friend, is the voice of reason who tries to stop them from doing the operation.

As an aftermath of the men meddling with nature and the will of god, Said is unable to have children despite the success of the operation and Abdul Qawi suffers from severe fatigue.

Eventually, Said became paralyzed and died after being hospitalized and Abdul Qawi end up going mad after failing to find someone to do the operation with him.
