Nasser Abdel-Rahman, the renowned scriptwriter, has responded to the comments made by art critic Tariq Al-Shennawi regarding the collaborations in the dramas shown during the last Ramadan season. Al-Shennawi specifically mentioned the series “Darb Nar,” which starred Yasmine Abdelaziz and Ahmed Al-Awadi.
In previous televised statements, Al-Shennawi discussed the artistic relationship between Yasmine and Al-Awadi, stating that their collaboration did not reach the level of Faten Hamama and Omar Sharif. He emphasized that Al-Awadi remained the central hero, and Yasmine’s character was merely a supporting role.
During his appearance on the “Bil Khat Al-Arid” program, hosted by Iman Abu Talib on Al-Hayat channel, Nasser Abdel-Rahman addressed Al-Shennawi’s remarks. He expressed his uncertainty about how to respond to such comments and highlighted the significance of Omar Sharif as the real hero in films. Abdel-Rahman emphasized that Al-Awadi’s character in “Darb Nar” was not comparable to Sharif’s iconic roles. He also stressed that only those involved in the artistic process can provide valid advice on technical matters.
“Darb Nar,” written by Nasser Abdel Rahman, marked his return to TV drama since the series “Musa” starring Mohamed Ramadan, which aired during the Ramadan season in 2021. The success of “Darb Nar” played a significant role in reestablishing Abdel-Rahman’s presence in the industry.
In other news, Nasser Abdel-Rahman recently completed writing the script for the film adaptation of Abdel-Rahim Kamal’s novel, “The Doorkeeper of the Bar.” The team is currently in the process of selecting the film’s crew, and an announcement regarding its commercial release date is expected in the near future.
