ALBAWABA - Syrian actor Fares Helou has made a strong comeback to the Syrian drama, triggering huge cheers from his fans through the Ramadan series "Mawlana".
Fares Helou was absent for nearly 15 years due to his outspoken stance against the Bashar Assad regime and his honest support for the Syrian revolution, so he traveled to France for years and returned upon the collapse of the old regime in Syria.

Helou is playing the character of "Colonel Kifah," a complex, dramatic representation of a corrupt and authoritarian officer within a closed security apparatus.
The Ramadan series "Mawlana" is making a huge reputation across social media platforms due to the presence of prominent stars including Taim Hasan, Muna Wassef, Nancy Khoury, Fares Helou and others. In addition to the smart turn of event which keeps the audience entertained and enthusiastic to see the upcoming episodes.
Taim Hasan, who plays the role of Jaber, stole the show with a simple yet striking scene in which he uses half a lemon as a natural perfume.
