Egyptian actress Summaya Al Khashab has postponed shooting her upcoming film “Al Sa’adah Bain Aideek” (Happiness is in Your Hands) for another month due to a conflict with her scheduled vacation with her husband to Paris.

 

Summaya agreed to play the leading role alongside Lebanese singers Nicole Saba and Khaled Abu Al Naja. Lebanese director, Ramón Wahbi, agreed to Summaya’s postponement, since Nicole is also busy furnishing her new Cairo apartment.

 

Summaya has also just completed the final scenes for her upcoming film “Amarit Ya’qoubain” alongside prominent Egyptian actors Nour El Sharif and Adel Imam. 

 

Summaya plays the role of a poor girl from a conservative family in an Egyptian village. She wears a Hijab, the Islamic headdress, throughout the film to demonstrate her characters' modesty. Her character falls in love with Nour and marries him, thinking he is the solution to her problems, only to discover her situation has worsened.  

 

Lastly, Summaya just completed the film “Ali Spicy” with Egyptian folk singer Hakim, featuring three duets performed by the two stars.
