Known for her messy divorce and mother-in-law restraining order, Egyptian actress, Rania Yousef, might not seem like the obvious choice for serious drama.

But the star will be taking on one of her country's most serious issues when she begins filming new drama, 'Al Li’ib Ma Al Thi’ab' (Playing with Wolves), this week.

The movie deals with the idea of rape and how the unrest in Egypt has meant violent assaults on women have increased. The film, written by Fathi Al Jundi and directed by Amir Shaker, will be airing in movie theaters later this year.
