Who among us has not watched the series The Family of Hajj Metwally, whose episodes that revolve in a family and comedic way have always pleased us, made us yearn for it every time it was shown on one of the screens.
And you might not believe 22 years following this series was shown, it was produced in 2001, and it was admired by viewers and was a huge success.
One of the heroes of this series was the able artist Magda Zaki, who excelled in presenting the role of Amina, the second wife of Hajj Metwally following the death of his first wife Zubeida.
Magda El Zaki presented the role in a genius way, as she combined drama and comedy at the same time, which is something that is difficult to implement in practice in art.
There is a surprise that no fan of the series The Hajj Metwally Family does not know, which is that there is another actress who was nominated for the role of Amina instead of Magda Zaki, but there is a reason why she was prevented from participating, so Magda Zaki won the role.
It is the great artist Abla Kamel, who apologized for the role and justified her refusal at the time by her preoccupation with filming the series “Hadeeth Al-Sabah and Al-Masaa”, so the role was offered to the artist Magda Zaki, who contributed to the success of the work.
The series “The Family of Hajj Metwally”, starring the artist Nour Sharif, Magda Zaki, Ghada Abdel Razek, Somaya Al Khashab, Fadia Abdel Ghani, Raja Al-Jeddawi, Mustafa Shaaban, Rania Youssef, script and dialogue by Mustafa Muharram, directed by Muhammad Al-Naqly.
