Laila Elwy starring in Al Haya Helwa


Producer Hussein Al Qula has finally settled on Laila Elwy to star in his latest film Al Haya Helwa (Life is Good) after Hend Sabry and Menah Shalaby declined Al Qula's offer.
Elwy has reportedly agreed with Al Qula on an EGP 400,000 pay. Also starring in Helwa are: Basma, Bushra, Farah Youssef, Bassem Samra, Eiad Nassar and Ahmed Hatem. Shooting is expected to start next August, ten days ahead of Ramadan when shooting stops and resumes second half of Ramadan.
Al Haya Helwa is Yasser Heweidy's first feature film, after a long career directing short films and acting as Assistant Director to Khairy Beshara, Osama Fouzy and others. Helwa is written by Gamal Sedqy, who won, along with Dawood Abdel Sayed, Sawiris Foundation Script Prize last year.
It features the story of four women living in the same neighborhood guided by eldest Awatef
