Menna Shalaby Exits Film "Bait Al Rawabi"

Egyptian actress Menna Shalaby will no longer star in the star-studded film "Bait Al Rawabi".

Shalaby dropped from the project due to being busy with her upcoming Ramadan 2023 series.

The social comedy film features A-listers such as Karim Abdel Aziz, Karim Mahmoud Abdelaziz, Nour, and Donia Samir Ghanem.

Acclaimed director Peter Mimi is directing the film from a screenplay by Mohammed Al-Dabbah and Reem Al-Kamasha. Synergy is the studio behind the film.

"Bait Al Rawabi" is set to premiere during the Eid al-Adha movie marathon.

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.
