The forthcoming series is written by Abdel-Rahim Kamal and directed by Hosni Saleh, according to El-Dostour newspaper.
El-Gabri Production originally nominated Menna Shalaby for the role, but after she turned it down the part was given to Somaya El-Khashab.
The film, written by Shawqi Abdel-hakim and directed by Ali Badrakhan in 1978, stars Soad Hosni and Ahmed Zaki. Its scenario was written by Salah Jahin.
