Hot shower scene. Check. French kissing. Check. Barely-there outfits. Check. Yes, we are talking about Marwa's film “Ahasees” (Feelings), which was perhaps too provocative for Arab cinema. 

But it was the video featuring Marwa showering in the nude that's still eating away at the Lebanese actress. The video – extracted from the film - surfaced on the internet just over two years ago; both Hani and Marwa were subjected to harsh criticism over it. 

Once again, Marwa has brought the allegations against the film's director, Hani Jaras Fawzi, back to life, where she accused him of taking advantage of her nude scenes in “Feelings” and using the footage for his personal pleasure, rather than solely for the movie. 

Hani, however, was having none of it; he protested his innocence and insisted that he will prove the video was taken using a mobile phone camera, not a professional one. 

“The agreement for the shower scene in “Feelings” was to purely focus on the upper part of the body without showing my breasts, yet they were shown in the film. Behind the scenes I had a towel wrapped up around me, but it dropped to the floor because of the force of the water, in turn exposing my entire naked body,” said the distressed singer. 

Why weren't you wearing any underwear then, Marwa? 

She continued: “After the towel had dropped down to the floor, the director demanded that I continue on acting out my scene, assuring me that he will keep the camera focused on my upper body as agreed. I trusted him, only to then discover that he was filming my whole naked body for his own use and personal pleasure.

Do you think Hani is a bit of a pervert, or is Marwa really the victim in this charade?
