We have all heard of Asmahan or Amal ElAtrash who escaped Syria with her brother and arrived in Egypt trying to make it big in the capital of art, but what you may not have heard of is the new series being produced documenting Asmahan’s life! The cast –which includes Syrian actress Solaf Fawakhergy who plays Asmahan- are currently in Syria where Asmahan earlier days are being recreated, they will be traveling to Egypt soon to then recreate her rapid rise to fame.
Thing is its questionable whether series like this and the one created previously about Abdel Haleem are tributes to these legendary figures or tragedies that bring up controversial topics.
