Exclusive Interview with Hesham Maged: “Ashghal Shaqa” and “A Break of Delicious Moments”

A Second Season for “Ashghal Shaqa”? Maged Isn’t Confirming Yet

Artist Hesham Maged expressed his happiness with the audience’s interaction with his series “Ashghal Shaqa”, saying: “None of the series’ stars imagined the great success that the work achieved. We presented an easy and simple work, and our goal was to draw a smile on the viewers’ faces, but God blessed us with great success. We worked hard and were sincere in our work, and the result was success.”

Regarding the possibility of presenting a second part of the work, Maged said: “We planned from the beginning for the work to be 15 episodes, so that the viewers would not feel bored with us, but it has not yet been decided whether to present a second part of the series, as there is still a long time until the next Ramadan. Perhaps during the coming period there will be work sessions through which we will determine the opportunities to present another season of the work.”

Working with Ahmed El Gendy and the Making of “A Break of Delicious Moments”

Hesham Maged and director Ahmed El Gendy collaborated on the new film “A Break of Delicious Moments”. Maged considered the film’s high ranking in the box office “a joyful thing” and said: “This success crowns an effort that lasted for about 3 years. The idea of ​​the film was born in 2021 by Sherif Najib and George Azmy, but after building the idea and story and agreeing with director Ahmed El Gendy and producer Ahmed El Sobky, we were exposed to some circumstances that caused the start of work on the film to be postponed for a year, but we were determined to complete it, and thank God the film came to light and achieved success.”

Maged praised Ahmed El Gendy, calling him “one of the most important comedy directors in the Arab world”. He also appreciated the performance of his colleague, artist Hana El Zahid, saying: “Perhaps this is the first time that we have starred together in a cinematic work – there is a work that has been filmed but has not been shown yet, which is the movie (A Few Hours in a Day), and the most beautiful thing that distinguishes Hana El Zahid is her love for her work, and her strong insistence on studying, and conducting rehearsals more than once.”

Fifth Season of “The Game” is Coming Soon

Majed revealed that he had been seeking to collaborate artistically with director Ahmed El Gendy for more than 10 years, after the great success they achieved in the film (World War III), explaining: “But because of our constant preoccupation, this collaboration did not happen until the film (A Break of Delicious Moments).”

Maged excited his audience about the fate of the fifth part of the series “The Game”, saying: “We have actually started preparing for the new season, and filming will start in the next few weeks, and there will be several surprises, just like what happened in the last season.”
