Ramadan series “Lama Konna Saghirayn” sparked a widespread controversy after its poster release, and the reason is that Egyptian actress Riham Haggag appears on the poster before her co-stars Khaled Al Nabawi and Mahmoud Hamida.
Apparently, this matter upset Khaled al-Nabawi, who made an official statement on his Facebook page threatning to retire from acting.
The statement said: “I did not agree on any publicity to be published, and that my contract does not stipulate that... The producer promised to implement it and correct the image and all the errors that have happened .. Nobody is responsible alone; it seems to me at this point that retirement is the solution. “
On the other hand, producer Ahmed Abdel-Ati issued a statement in response to Khaled El-Nabawy, commenting on posters’ controversy, he said that Al Nabawy “knows well that the main character of the series is Riham Haggag, he was paid the higher rate in Ramadan accordingly. Production company, Art Makers, has fulfilled all its material contracts with the great star Khaled El-Nabawy. "
