Egyptian actress Mona Zaki is planning to participate in Ramadan 2023 drama marathon.
Director Mohamed Shaker Khodeir is helming the project from a script by screenwriters Khaled and Sherine Diab.
The makers of the series are currently holding cast calls for fresh talents to present in the project.
Zaki participated last in the drama marathon with the TV series “Lebat Newton”, which achieved great success during its premiere.
It also starred Mohamed Farag, Mohamed Mamdouh, Sayed Ragab, Aicha Ben Ahmed, Mohamed El-Tajy, Mayan El-Sayed, Hanan Youssef, and others.
“Lebat Newton” was written and directed by Tamer Mohsen and followed a couple seeking to have their upcoming baby born in the USA to be granted citizenship, a decision with threatening consequences on their marriage.
Mona Zaki, born on November 18, 1976, started by acting career at the age of 16, when Egyptian actor-director Mohamed Sobhi was searching for new faces.
She applied in the hopes of getting a chance to meet Sobhi and was cast by him for her first acting role in his play “Bel Araby El Faseeh”.
Zaki later co-starred in several hit TV series such as “El A’elah”, “Khalti Safiya wel Deir”, “Nisf Rabi’ El Akhar”, “Ahalina”, “Ded El Tayyar”, and “El Daw’ El Sharid”.
She also co-starred in several plays, among which were “Le’b Eyal”, “Ya Messafer Wahdak”, “Afrouto”, and “Keda OK”.
In 2001, Zaki received an award from Gihan El Sadat, the wife of former president Anwar El Sadat, for portraying her in the masterpiece film “Ayam El Sadat” (Days of El Sadat).
She was awarded the Faten Hamama Prize for Excellency at the opening ceremony of the 42nd Cairo International Film Festival in 2020.
