What is going on with 'Qasr El Nile'?

Earlier this week, the police arrested Mohammad Mashish, the producer of the series, on charges of forgery, in case No. 23984 of 2018, in which he was sentenced to three years in prison in absentia. He was outside Egypt at the time.

However, the organizers of the series completed filming the rest of the series due to lack of time, for it to be screened in the drama marathon.

Indeed, El Sherbiny completed filming half of her scenes in the series, most of them were external scenes.

In a statement, Abdul-Malik pointed out that the filming of the production was not affected by the news of the arrest of the series producer, noting that the cast finished filming nearly 50% of the series.

He also addressed the circulating reports that claim Amr Diab is behind everything that has happened to the series, which she signed on to star after they separated in the recent period.

Abdul-Malik stressed that all these reports are baseless, and responding to them is not right.
