Egyptian actor Hani Ramzi has defended the numerous sexual connotations in his latest film "Sami Carbon Dioxide."
"They were included for humorous purposes and not for other reasons," said Hani.
The
connotations provoked
laughter from the audience
during a special screening of
the film in Cairo.
The film
stars Tunisian actress Durraha (family name?), who plays the role of a revolutionary woman, as well as actors Edward (family name?), and talented, young actor Tatiana (family name?).
During the
special screening, Durraha was repeatedly congratulated on her engagement,
rather than for her role in the film. She told reporters that she was thrilled
to have acted alongside Hani, one of her favorite actors.
"I make it a point to watch all of his movies," she said.
Despite the
attempts of
many satellite channels to hold exclusive interviews with Hani, the Egyptian
star held interviews with all journalists present.
A number of Egyptian
stars attended the special screening, like Hamada Hilal, May Kassab, Rasha
Mahdi and director Ahmed al-Badri.
The film
is a comedy
about Sami, who is consumed
by having intimate relationships
with multiple women.
