Circulation of a rumor about Fares Al-Hallou’s retirementFares Al-Hallou denies retiring from acting

Amid the circulation of “information” that later turned out to be completely false, Syrian actor Fares Al-Hallou came forward to settle the controversy surrounding the claims attributed to him about retiring from acting, firmly denying all that had been circulated in this context, and confirming that these rumors have no connection to reality whatsoever.

This denial came after reports spread claiming that Fares Al-Hallou had decided to step away from acting due to his inability to keep up with work schedules because of health conditions. However, the actor rejected these claims outright, clarifying that these reports have no basis in truth, and that he is still present in the artistic scene and continuing his work as usual.

Remarkable success of “Mawlana”

These rumors coincided with the great success achieved through participation in the series “Mawlana,” which aired during the Ramadan 2026 drama season. The series managed to gain notable attention, establish its place among the most-watched works in the Arab world, and top engagement lists on social media platforms, reflecting the strong audience turnout and the wide interest it received.

In a direct move to respond to these reports, a screenshot of the circulating news was shared via the “Story” feature on Instagram. The report included claims that retirement from acting followed the completion of filming for the series “Mawlana,” and that this came as a result of health conditions that prevented continuing to adhere to filming schedules. However, the response came in a personal and lighthearted way, expressing denial of these claims with a touch of humor, commenting on what was being circulated with the phrase: “Guess who you’re upsetting,” clearly rejecting what was published and affirming that the matter is nothing more than a baseless rumor.

It is worth noting that the series “Mawlana,” which was broadcast on Roya TV throughout the days of the holy month of Ramadan, achieved notable success during its run in Ramadan 2026. The work brought together a group of prominent Arab drama stars, including Tim Hassan, Nour Ali, Mona Wassef, and Sawsan Arshid, along with a number of other notable names, giving the series clear artistic weight and contributing to its wide popularity. The series was directed by Samer Al-Barqawi and produced by Al-Sabah Production Company, making it one of the most prominent drama works that enjoyed a large audience following during the season.
