Raeis participated last Ramadan with TV series “Molook El Gadaana“.

It also starred Mostafa Shaban, Amr Saad, Dalal Abdel Aziz, Amr Abd El Geleel, Rania Youssef, Walid Fawaz, and others.

The series featured late veteran actor Youssef Chaban in his final screen appearance.

It was written by writing workshop under the supervision of the writer Abeer Soliman, directed by Ahmed Khaled Moussa, and produced by Sadiq Al-Sabah.
