The Egyptian artist Amr Saad surprised his audience with his sudden decision to stop appearing in television drama during the upcoming period.

For his part, Amr Saad stressed that his decision carries no intention of retirement, but is rather a temporary pause from television drama after five consecutive years of strong and continuous presence, affirming his need for a different artistic challenge and a return to cinema, which he described as “his original home.”

“Artistic and commercial value”

Saad explained that the audience granted him his greatest successes across different parts of the Arab world, expressing his pride in the artistic and commercial value of his works, and stressing at the same time that respecting the audience is the true standard for any artist, and that he cannot present or promote any work he does not trust in terms of its artistic level.
