Young controversial Egyptian actress Ola Ghanem will play the role of a lesbian, Shireen, in her new film “Bedoon Raqaba” (Uncensored).
The comedy stars a number of young Egyptian actors and is poised to generate great criticism.

According to the London daily Elaph, Olas has already faced fierce attacks in her short career, but has also been admired by many her talent.  She is known for playing new courageous roles instead of traditional ones.

Ola revealed that she was attracted to the role because it was “daring,” but admitted that she is concerned over how viewers will react.

Ola played a successful role in the television drama series “Thel Al

Muharib” (The Warrior Shadow), aired last Ramadan season.

Ola also stared in the film “Laylat Al Baby Doll” (Baby Doll Night), in which critics lauded her role.
