Lebanese singer Alissa has given her final approval for the leading role in a new Egyptian film, alongside actor Ahmad Al Sakka. 

The film was written by Baha’ El Din and produced by ‘Rotana,’ although the search for a director continues.

Alissa recently gave a spectacular performance at the Casablanca Music Festival in Morocco. The concert was part of the grand finale of the Festival, and was described by the audience as the concert of the century.

Alissa was shocked when an audience of over 120,000 gathered to see her in action, and was moved when she discovered they had her songs memorized by heart and were singing along with her throughout her performance.

Alissa stated that she was “honored to sing for Morocco for the first time,” and that she was grateful to all the people who came to watch her, making her performance a night to remember.
