The Egyptian comedian confirmed that his decision to participate in the film stemmed from his belief in the significance of delivering entertainment that embodies sincerity and human depth, especially in light of the daily pressures faced by audiences. He added that intelligent comedy grounded in reality can resonate with people without resorting to vulgarity.

Over the years, Aser Yassine has established himself as one of Egypt's most versatile actors, successfully navigating social dramas, complex psychological works, and mainstream cinema without sacrificing his artistic vision or experimental spirit.
