Ok, she's got a gig in a new TV show "Rihla" (Journey), but despite the fact that her part is glaringly similar to that of Hind Rustum in her film "Al Akh Al Kabeer" (The Big Brother) back in the 1950s, Ola Ghanem is adamantly deniying that she's imitating the late actress.

According to Laha magazine, Ola stated that it is not in her best interest to imitate Hind since there is no actress that can compete with Hind Rustum and the roles she played.

Ola stressed that she's careful to play out her characters in a unique way whether she's first or fifth to do it. In the film "Al Zawjah Al Thania" (The Second Wife) she portrayed the same role played by the late Egyptian actress Sana Jamil in a film that held the same title.

Will her rendition stand up to Hind's? What's your bet?
