Yusra will play the role of a television broadcaster for the first time in her acting career in the series.  

 

According to the London based Elaph, the film “Love Talk” had already been postponed numerous times in the past four years due to the fact that Yusra was too busy with other works. Yusra revealed that she did not give up her singing career just because the failure of her first album, but is also working on releasing a new one. 

 

The story of “Love Talk” revolves around a waitress in a restaurant who goes through different situations and relationships with various kinds of men. The script is written by Zeinab Aziz and will be directed by Ali Idris. Yusra’s role in the film is one she has never played before, an experience the actress looks forward to.  

 

Producer Amal Abu Shadi is currently doing preparations to start filming in Cairo and then will take the entire cast and fly to Morocco to continue filming there. The movie has been postponed many times because Yusra was busy filming her movie “Iskendiria New York” with Yousef Shahin, and Idris was busy directing “Arees Min Jiha Amnia” with Adel Imam.  

 

Yusra nominated Egyptian actor Hisham Salim for the male leading role in the film “Kalam Fil Hub”, instead of prominent actor Ahmad Zaki, and mainly due to the latter’s health condition. Egyptian actors Sharif Muneer and Hanan Turk will also take part in the new movie. –Albawaba.com
