Director Ahmed Al-Bendari Defends Role in Disputed Film Project
Cairo,Egypt – egyptian film director Ahmed Al-Bendari has issued a statement clarifying his involvement in a recent controversy surrounding a film project with actor mohammad saad. Al-Bendari vehemently denies claims that he took credit for the film’s concept, emphasizing that the screenplay was written by Joseph Fawzi.
Al-Bendari explained that he worked closely with Fawzi on the project, developing a visual interpretation of the script and actively marketing it to potential producers. He stated, “I tried, and not even a hint of the betrayal that occurred… I worked on the film for a week, says the author.”
The director’s statement comes after a public dispute erupted regarding the film’s origins. Al-Bendari claims that a production alliance, including prominent figures in the Egyptian film industry, can attest to his involvement from the project’s early stages.
He further elaborated on the complexities of the filmmaking process, stating, ”Perhaps that means after Muhammad Saad was seated, they agreed a week later that they would make the film without our knowledge, because after Saad disappeared we had chosen another actor entirely…”

I tried to exclude the writer from this topic to save our friendship, which he betrayed earlier, and I forgave him.. but I don’t know why he took sides. Once with me without any harm on my part,on the contrary,I believe that nothing but goodness and promise came from me.”
The controversy surrounding the film project highlights the intricate relationships and potential for conflict within the Egyptian film industry. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this dispute will be resolved and what impact it will have on the careers of those involved.
