Despite strict security warnings on the anniversary of the Egyptian 25 January Revolution, actress Elham Shahin and the cast & crew members of her new film "Hass Wast El Balad" will go ahead with its premiere a day before the anniversary, while screening the film for the public on the 25th!

Elham stressed that the film's release date had nothing to do with the revolution's anniversary; it was just a "coincidence."

The actress added that she wasn't at all worried about the security warnings, because she believes that her country is in safe hands and Egyptian people are looking to lead normal lives.

The film also stars actors Mahmoud Qabeel, Horiya Farghali and Lutfi Labeeb. The entire film's events take place iover the course of one day, where several acts of terrorism occur in a specific area in downtown Cairo.
