The rumor mill has been grinding away for the past two years on the story of Bab El Hara's director Bassam Mulla and his fallout with actor Abbas Al Nouri.
Some reports said that it was a money problem while others reported that personal problems got in the way and other reports were that Al Nouri left because of a weak script!
Well, all these rumors will be put to sleep and the truth will be laid out on the table of Kalam Nawaem on MBC1 this coming Sunday.

Egyptian actor Adel Imam will be returning to the silver screen soon with a new TV series entitled 'Al Araab' or The Godfather.

You must have gotten word that MBC is going to start broadcasting blockbuster movies dubbed into Arabic on both MBC1 and MBC MAX.

For the past few years, days before the Holy month of Ramadan begins, TV channels start advertising their Ramadan schedule.
