What’s funnyman Ahmed Helmy doing on a virtual set resembling the White House? The Egyptian actor is getting his action on for his latest comedy TV show “Al Amaleyyah Misi” (Mission Misi), where he plays a monkey named Misi!
According to Laha Magazine, CIA agents kidnap "Misi" and assign him to complete a highly important mission!
A "Barack Obama" lookalike will also be making an appearance on the show, which will air exclusively CBC TV this Ramadan.
On a different note, Ahmed announced that his latest film "Qutun wa Fa’ar" (Cotton & a Mouse)'s name has been changed to "Made in Egypt," and will be screened by the end of July.
