The Egyptian cinema industry is facing a new chapter of complications related to its major productions, as the project "Shams El Zenati.. Days of Mischief," starring star Mohamed Emam, has entered a critical juncture following the emergence of sharp disputes
between the producing entities over the release of the official promotional poster, threatening to impose judicial measures that could disrupt the distribution and screening path in cinemas. The spark of the dispute ignited immediately upon the revelation of the promotional
materials, following an explicit objection from producer Raymond Ramzy regarding the absence of his company's name and logo from the poster, considering it a main partner in the production process. Ramzy clarified via an official statement that omitting his company's
name is a clear breach of the partnership agreement terms and a blatant infringement on the material and moral rights of the entity he represents. In the same context, Ramzy indicated that the file in all its details is still
pending before the competent courts, denying the issuance of any judicial decisions granting any other party the right to monopolize the cinematic work alone. He also drew attention to the fact that his company's legal department is studying escalating options
including requesting the imposition of judicial guardianship on the tapes and filmed material, as well as taking immediate steps to stop screening and distribution operations, and submitting official reports regarding the current promotional campaign. The statement added that the Chamber
of Cinema Industry had previously given a specified deadline of one week to the other party to ensure his company's accountants entered and reviewed all financial records and documents related to expenses. On the other hand, legal adviser Hossam Lotfy
had previously issued a clarification confirming that production rights are restricted between the companies "AKA Production" and "Back Ara Production," while the task of management and field execution of the filming location was assigned to "Rashidi Film Production." These developments
come to consecrate a long series of bumps that have accompanied the project since its announcement more than three years ago, interspersed with varying disputes and radical modifications that affected the crew. It is worth noting that the directorial helm
previously transferred from director Amr Salama to Ahmed Khaled Moussa, coinciding with the apology of several artistic names for not participating, among them artist Omar Metwally. The starring role in the new version, alongside Mohamed Emam, is shared by Yasmine
Rais, Bassem Samra, and Mohamed Tharwat, inspiring the famous atmosphere of the original film presented by leader Adel Emam in 1991 in a format that renewed viewers' passion and anticipation before the expected launch collided with successive production complications.
