Egyptian writer and scenarist Mustafa Muharam has announced that he intends on turning Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi into an acting sensation on the small screen. Haifa will be acting in a new television drama titled “Mawlid Wa Sahbo Ghayeb” written by Mustafa and it is scheduled to be aired during the Ramadan season of 2012.
According to the internet website MBC.net, Mustafa revealed that Moroccan singer Sameera Saeed had personally called him and requested he writes a new script for a television drama especially for her in order for her to enter the acting world in Egypt.
Mustafa noted that he has not set a time to begin writing a drama for Sameera due to the fact that he is currently preoccupied with two other dramas, the first “Mawlid Wa Sahbo Ghayeb” for Haifa Wahbi and “Ma Sabq Al Ish’ar” for Tunisian singer Latifa.
With regards to choosing Haifa Wahbi to star in “Mawlid Wa Sahbo Ghayeb”, Mustafa stated that he is used to presenting new faces to be able to guide them in the right direction to create stars out of them in the acting world. Mustafa said that he concentrated on presenting the singing talent for Haifa in the drama.
Mustafa noted that in the past he had presented Egyptian actress Ghada Abd Al Raziq to the small screen through the television drama “A’ilat Al Hajj Mitwali” and created a star out of her.
