Shaban was scheduled to participate this Ramadan with TV series “Hata La Yatir Al Dokhan”, which is based on a novel of the same name by the great novelist Ihsan Abdel Quddous.

The series— written by Medhat El-Adl and directed by Mando El-Adl— starred Reham Abdel Ghafour, Hussein Fahmy, and Samar Morsy.

El Adl Group, the series production company, announced Shaban’s signing at a late date — compared to the rest of the series that was set to be presented in Ramadan.

The group, however, carried on despite the limited time and difficulty of hashing out the details, contracting the rest of the cast, and preparing the decorations among other things, but there was strong progress forward in the work.

Unfortunately, the preparations for the series had stopped, which led to the series being officially postponed, and Shaban not participating in the drama marathon for the first time in eight years.

The actor is considered one of the most prominent stars who have been annually present in Ramadan.

He participated in the past years’ with TV series “Abu Gabal” in 2019, “Ayoub” in 2018, “Allahom Any Sayem” in 2017, “Abu Al-Banat” in 2016, “Mawlana El-aasheq” in 2015, “Doctor Amrad Nesa” in 2014, “Mazag El Kheir” in 2013, and “Al Zoga Al Raba’a” in 2012.
