's crew met with actor Ahmed El Sakka in an exclusive interview about “ El Gezira 2”, which was released at the beginning of the current month, and was a smashing box office hit.
El Sakka revealed that the film's production was halted, which strangely enough was beneficial for the film's quality. He added that living under Mansour El Hefny's (his character) skin seven years after the production of the film's prequel “El Gezira” was an interesting job, as he really lvoes and identifies with the character, and sees that the audience have their reasons to root for him, specially as he resembles Robin Hood in his opinion.
El Sakka also talked about Upper Egyptians' reactions to the film and the political backdrop it features, and about the film's ensemble cast, adding that many of them have made compromises so that the film would get accomplished as it should be.
