Actor Eyad Nassar stated that what makes his upcoming series “Silat Rahim” unique, scheduled to be screened in the 2024 Ramadan season, is that it marks a new challenge for him, for he always searches for adventures. Nassar said, “I don’t feel comfortable when it comes to dealing with the safe zone. I love adventures. I also like having new experiences. These experiences encourage me to focus on presenting themes that affect citizens and highlight their concerns. This type of concern is admissible, for I like engaging in humanitarian experiences that are related to everyone and aren’t restricted to specific audiences.
I promise that the audiences will be surprised by the theme of the series and the way it is presented”. He add “‘Silat Rahim’ discusses a significant and controversial issue surrogacy. This issue has never been presented before in an integrated work with its circumstances.
The story of the series resembles a snowball. We make small decisions in our lives without knowing their results. These aftershocks become enlarged until they turn into a tragedy. That’s how the series addresses such issue”.
Through the series, Nassar presents the character of Dr. Hussam; an anesthesiologist who resides in one of the popular neighbourhoods and is married to Yosra El-Lozy.
Throughout the episodes, he faces hardships that bring him together with actress Asmaa Abulyazeid. Within a
breathtaking social dramatic framework, the theme discusses whether surrogacy is forbidden or permissible”. “Silat Rahim” is written by Mohamed Hesham Obayia and directed by Tamer Nady, starring Eyad Nassar, Yosra El-Lozy, Asmaa Abulyazeid, Mohamed Gomaa, Abeid Anany, Nabil Nour El-Din, Heba Abd El-Ghany, Amr Al-Kady, Dalia Khalif, Riyam Kafarna, Salwa Mohamed Ali, Mohamed Desouky, Safaa Galal, Batoul Haddad, and Mohamed El-Seweisy. The series is written by Mohamed Hesham Obayia, directed by Tamer Nady, and produced by Sadiq Al-Sabbah.
