He told Al-Arabiya.net that the implementation of 30 episodes of series such as “Al-Maddah” requires a lot of effort.
Over the course of 3 years, he was unable to get out of the mantle of “Saber Al-Maddah” after he formed a distinguished trio with director Ahmed Samir Farag and author Amin Gamal, to present the struggle of humans and jinns, good and evil, hidden worlds with reality, it is the artist Hamada Helal who has become a solitary case.

Hilal pointed out that the implementation of 30 episodes of a series such as “Al-Maddah” was a matter that exhausted a great effort, especially as it is an anti-social work and resembles superhero series.

* How did you find the reactions to the third part? Weren’t you afraid of it?
Many were not optimistic after the success of the first part of the series that the following parts would achieve the same success. The new series also succeeded in the first part, especially since the ideas are developed and intense, so the viewer did not feel any stretch or boredom in the course of events.
Praise be to God for the words of the people, and these words mean a lot to me, and it means that I lived up to their expectations, and these praises are the best appreciation for me, because they are from the audience, because I had certainty in God that the second part would be more successful than the first, and this is what happened. And the matter was repeated with the third part, as the follower will realize this through the distinguished events and story of the work.
* You presented “Al-Maddah” with a distinguished team?
The director of the work, Ahmed Samir Farag, is like my brother, and he is a great director, and may God bless us with him, in addition to the authors Amin Gamal, Walid Abul Magd and Sherif Yousry, my friends, and everyone worked a lot in addition to the abundant effort for production, and Professor Islam Morsi, by the way, I am happy to cooperate with the director Ahmed Samir Farag, because he A distinguished director with a wonderful vision, and the producer, Sadiq Al-Sabah, did everything in his power to bring the series to light in an impressive way.

* What are the difficulties faced by the work team?
Difficulties exist in all scenes, as everyone was presenting his utmost energies to the audience with something different and interesting to them, and there were also difficulties for the authors in portraying the events coherently and smoothly, and the director Ahmed Samir suffered a lot so that the work came out in this more than wonderful picture, and the production team spared no effort And he made every effort to make the series come out in its best form. The producer, Sadiq Al-Sabah, who worked very hard with us, left us to act as we wish until we come to light with high-quality work.
Were there difficult scenes in terms of implementation?
There is no specific scene that I mention, because all the scenes without exception were difficult, because a character like Al-Madah’s character must be focused on its details with precision, because it needs certain conditions and controls, and nothing that detracts from the mental image of the character should be violated, otherwise its details will be affected and become comical, for example. Rather than being a dramatic, suspenseful character, all the scenes are equally difficult due to the large number of focus and detail.
*Some see that presenting a third part of praise aims to capitalize on the success of the previous parts?
It is not a shame to invest in success, but my insistence on presenting parts of the “Al-Madah” series is that it is far from traditional drama, and its events take place in a different world. That there be a good story that tells about an interesting legend, like the previous three legends, so that I can think of presenting “Al Maddah 4” during the coming month of Ramadan.
Executing 30 episodes of a series like “Al-Maddah” takes a lot of effort, especially since it is an anti-social work and more like superhero series. American series that deal with stories of superheroes do not exceed ten episodes, while I am required to film 30 episodes within a short period, to show the series within RAMADAN month.

* Is there a possibility to present a fourth part?
It is indeed possible to present a fourth part, depending on the level of the scenario, and the enthusiasm of all the team. We were keen to present exciting content in the third part. It is a very wonderful thing to put a line in the scenario that stirs the imagination of the viewers and prompts them to think. The excitement increases when the audience discovers that the solution is strange. And far from their circle of thinking.
What are the considerations that you place in choosing your business?
The most important thing is to respect people’s minds, and present a work that lives for a long time, and does not give negative energy, but on the contrary, presents a good message, and tries to provide solutions to some people’s problems through drama, and what concerns me is respect for the audience and the search for the team that achieves this.
* Although you are a singer, you became a professional actor, so what is the secret?
I love singing and acting together, and I see them as complementing each other, and I do not prefer one over the other. Achieving the singer-actor equation at the same time is very important to me.
* You have been away from cinema for a while, and you are less of your singing works, so what is the reason?
Indeed, with all regret, I have been away from the cinema for a while for an important reason, which is that I fear for the cinema, and I prefer when I present a work for the cinema that it be a good work, because my previous films achieved great success, and the new must be on the same level, and in general you can find me in a movie very soon.
As for singing, I do not see myself as alienated from it. Rather, I sing even when I am acting, because the two elements complement each other, as I said before.
