The director of the new television drama series “Qalbi Dalili” (Can Tell By My Heart) about the life of the late singer ‘Laila Murad’ is facing some difficulty filming the scenes on the new series that were supposed to take place in Paris because of the globally spreading Swine Flu Virus.


The crew members of the new series were supposed to travel to Paris for 20 days and to start filming, yet because of the new virus spreading rapidly, the makers of the drama are skeptical about travelling outside of Egypt.


 The series is scheduled to be aired on television this upcoming Ramadan season, and is currently being filmed in Egypt.


The series is written by the well-known writer and scenarist Majdi Saber, and the Syrian actress Safa Sultan will play the role of the late artist ‘Laila Murad’.
