Moroccan artist Jihane Khalil revealed her participation in the series "Wera Kol Bab," specifically in the events of the "Corona" story, the first of the series, which is expected to air on Saturday, March 6, on Al-Hayat channel.
Jihane appears throughout the series without makeup in all her scenes in the story, which takes place over 5 episodes. She noted that the nature of the role and the work in general compelled her to do so, in order to achieve the highest level of credibility possible. Jihane mentioned that she has performed in several works without makeup in the past, but this was limited to one or two scenes, particularly in the series "Al-Khankah," "Alaamat Istifham," and "Taqa Nour." These works required it, especially since the filming occurred during a mourning scene or a breakdown in tears or within a hospital setting. However, in the "Corona" story, it is her first time to appear without makeup in all her scenes.
The "Corona" story is written by Baher Dowidar and directed by Samih Al-Naqqash, starring Sabreen, Jihane Khalil, Mohamed Nagaty, Gamal Abdel Naser, Samar Al-Alam, and Abed Anani. Jihane plays the role of "Mariam," who interacts with Sabreen, leading to various situations within a social framework, and the events revolve around life within a family amid the conditions of the spread of the Coronavirus.
The writer of the series "Wera Kol Bab," Yousri Al-Fakhrani, presents interconnected standalone stories, each story consisting of 5 episodes, aired weekly on one of the channels of the United Media Services company. The second story, titled "A Day of Days," starring Ahmed Khalil and Youssef Othman, is currently being filmed under the direction of Ahmed Khaled Amin, while the third is with director Iman Al-Haddad.
It is noteworthy that artist Jihane Khalil is preparing to shoot the film "Screenshot," in which she has contracted to take on the female lead role alongside Khaled El Sawy, Sherine Reda, Ahmed Safwat, and many other artists. The work is directed by Hadi Ali and set within a thrilling social framework.
