Syrian artist Bashar Ismail expressed great admiration for the successes of his colleague, Syrian actor Tim Hassan, and his unique and distinctive performance style.
In an interview with "Et بالعربي," Ismail emphasized the close relationship he shares with the star of "Al Hayba," referring to him as "the beloved," and considering him deserving of global recognition. Ismail also aimed to offer constructive criticism to the Syrian artist, urging him not to confine himself and to diversify his roles, as he did in his early career with historical characters and others.
Ismail recalled Hassan's portrayal of King Farouk and the Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani, affirming that Tim's image comes to mind when either is mentioned. He continued, "My beloved Tim... stay like before and diversify the roles you played previously that brought you the stardom you deserve... meaning one part of Al Hayba is enough."
He described the character Jabal, played by Hassan in the series, as being known to everyone and remarked: "You play all roles at a consistently excellent level, so it's time to reach for global opportunities." On another note, Ismail spoke about the meeting he had with Syrian artist Yasser Al Azmeh, clarifying that the goal was to collaborate in Al Azmeh's upcoming project scheduled to launch in about two months.
