Najlaa's affair with the younger man causes rise to a number of social dilemmas and criticisms to take place. Young Egyptian actor Fathi Abdul Wahab plays the role of Najlaa's lover.
On a different note, Najlaa announced that she and Egyptian actress Mervat Ameen will join hands to take part in a new film, whose name has not been revealed, after they found an interesting script taken from an English novel.
Director Mohammad Khan is currently working on preparations for the film which is to begin shooting in the very near future.

In the film, only one scene presented them at the same time in which Najlaa played the part of a young romantic woman and Mervat was the mentally disturbed one.
Najlaa's last film was "Batal Min Al Junoob" (A Hero From The South) directed by Mohammad Abo Yousif. -Albawaba.com
