Estefan refused to leave with his father and chose to stay with his mother in Egypt. He helps him in life, until he decided to enroll in a technical institute to study acting, while he worked as a consultant for a theater group, and his job revolved around everything related to the Middle East.
After a while, “Estefan” returned to Egypt and met producer Aziza Amir, who is known as “the mother of Egyptian cinema”, who was fascinated by his great cinematic culture and his ability to combine more than one language. Turkish Widad Orfi.
