In a surprising move, Egyptian star Mohamed Ramadan revealed his rejection of a huge offer to star in a TV series for 4 million dollars, equivalent to about 200 million Egyptian pounds, confirming that the reason has nothing to do with the salary but with his full engagement in cinematic projects.
Ramadan spoke to his followers in a video he posted on his official accounts, explaining that he had to respond to rumors claiming that his absence from television drama was due to his excessive demands in salary.
He said, "I will not allow money to deprive me of my audience, but the priority now is for cinema," indicating that his current film "The Lion" requires intensive preparations, shooting, and great effort that requires full dedication.
Ramadan explained that the last series he participated in was "Ja'far Al-Omda" two years ago, and that the audience will understand the reasons for his absence when they watch "The Lion," confirming that his next film after it is also more challenging and deserves the same level of focus.
He revealed that the rejected series offer came to him just a week ago, but he decided to apologize despite the huge amount offered, emphasizing that he did not request this number beforehand, but chose to commit to his current artistic plans.
With this statement, Mohamed Ramadan puts an end to the rumors, and confirms his artistic strategy that prefers focusing on serious cinematic work over frequent appearances in drama, even if the offers are tempting.
