Cairo – Marwa Yehya
The production company for Ahmed Helmy’s upcoming film “X Large” has decided to increase the film’s budget from 20 million to 23 million Egyptian pounds; due to a change in filming locations. Although Helmy kept it quiet about his fees for the film; rumor has it that he has reduced his fee from 8 to 5 million Egyptian pounds; especially after his previous film “Bulbul Hayran” faced huge competition in the last Eid period when it was released then. Helmy has been chosen as a UN Ambassador for their World Food Program, in addition to signing a deal with a food production company to work on the “Food for Education” program.
