In exclusive statements, Yasin expressed his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting that the film allows for authentic and spontaneous performances. He faces the unique challenge of portraying twins who differ psychologically rather than physically, requiring intense focus to maintain the distinct traits of each character without overlap.

Yasin emphasized that team harmony was crucial for realizing the film's vision, stating that collaborative efforts helped create a comedy grounded in mutual understanding among the actors, rather than relying solely on direct attempts to elicit laughter.
The Egyptian actor confirmed that his decision to participate in the film stemmed from his belief in the importance of presenting entertaining works that convey honesty and human depth, especially in light of the daily pressures faced by audiences.
He added that intelligent comedy, rooted in reality, has the power to resonate with people without resorting to clichés.
Over the years, Aser Yasin has established himself as one of Egypt's most versatile actors, seamlessly transitioning between social dramas, complex psychological roles, and mainstream cinema, without losing his artistic sensibility or desire for experimentation. His latest film, "When the Cat is Away", further showcases his commitment to exploring diverse experiences beyond conventional templates.
