After the big dispute that arose between prominent Egyptian actor Mohammed Subhi and his colleague Wafa Amer during the filming of the TV drama “Mileh al-Ard”, Wafa made it a point not to show up for the filming of the last scenes of the drama, which where supposed to be shot on the Alexandria desert highway. The director had given strict orders to the entire cast to show up early in the morning in order to complete shooting the scenes.
All the working group which was more than 150 people and many technicians arrived at the filming scene at seven o'clock in the morning and Mohammed Subhi was there at eight. The only cast member who was not there was Wafa. Endless attempts were made by Subhi to try and get hold of the actress on her mobile. Once Subhi got through he began shouting in fury and ended the call by hanging up.
Director Khairi Beshara tried to calm Subhi and suggested that they start with the scenes where Wafa is not needed and the lighting manager was pushing everybody to start shooting before the sun gets in the wrong angel for filming.
Director Khairi Ibshara was forced to stop the filming of his new television drama series “Malh Al Ard” after Subhi slapped Wafa during the shooting of one of the scenes. It took the director four hours to try and calm Wafa, who was all shaken up from the hard blow, down.
The incident occurred during the filming of one of the scenes in which there is a verbal war between the two actors and it was apparent that Subhi was so wrapped up in his role that he accidentally hit the actress for real. Subhi’s fingers marked Wafa’s face in red making her explode in tears. The actress was immediately surrounded by the cast of the drama all trying to calm her down.
Subhi apologized to the actress stressing that he did not know what came over him and that he did not mean to hurt her in any way. Subhi that he was so taken in by the scene of the drama and really felt like he was the person he is playing. -Albawaba.com
