The production company of the series “Proof of Lineage” has put an end to the controversy and mystery that surrounded the work for a long time, officially announcing that the series, starring Tunisian star Dorra, will join the Ramadan drama race for 2026, after a series of production setbacks that caused it to be excluded from the previous two seasons.

The project's revival via Al-Nahar channel

In a move that has revived hope for actress Dorra's fans, Al-Nahar TV has released the official promotional posters for the series, confirming the end of the crises that plagued the production and confirming its final broadcast date. This announcement puts an end to a period of speculation surrounding the fate of the series, which is considered one of the most anticipated dramas due to its storyline and the social issues it addresses.

A long journey of postponements and crises

The road to producing the series "Proof of Lineage" was far from easy; the project faced significant production challenges that kept it shelved for over two years. Initially slated to compete in the Ramadan 2024 television season, time constraints and production crises prevented this, leading to its postponement to the 2025 season. With continued setbacks, the series disappeared from screens once again, before its creators finally settled on airing it in Ramadan 2026, making it one of the most prominent early series to secure its place in the following season.

A distinguished cast and a complex social story

The series boasts a stellar cast of Egyptian drama stars, with the screenplay and dialogue penned by Mohamed Nayer and directed by Ahmed Abdo. Dorra stars alongside a constellation of actors, most notably Mahmoud Abdel-Moghni, Nabil Eissa, Walaa El-Sherif, Sedky Sakhr, Mohsen Mohi El-Din, Hend Abdel-Halim, Hagar El-Sharnouby, and Fatouh Ahmed. The story unfolds within a social drama framework, exploring complex issues of lineage and family problems—a genre that typically enjoys a wide audience across the Arab world.

Complex technical and personal challenges

In this project, Dorra is taking on a role completely different from her previous ones, describing it as a "complex character" that demands significant psychological effort to portray its inner transformations. This type of role offers an artist an opportunity to showcase their acting abilities beyond stereotypes, presenting Dorra with a new challenge to prove her talent in difficult and complex dramatic territory.

Dorra competes with herself in Ramadan 2026

What's exciting for actress Dorra in Ramadan 2026 is that she won't be limiting herself to the series "Ithbat Nasab" (Proof of Lineage), but will also appear in another role in the series "Ali Clay." Dorra co-stars in this major production with Ahmed El Awady, and the cast includes prominent names such as Mahmoud El Bazawy, Entisar, Yara El Sokary, Essam El Sakka, and Mohamed Tharwat. This intense artistic activity indicates the Tunisian star's desire to make up for her previous absences and firmly establish herself as one of the leading actresses in Arab and Egyptian drama.

The name of young artist Wael Aouni , one of the most prominent stars of the "Masrah Masr" (Egypt Theater) troupe, trended on search engines and social media platforms in recent hours, following a widespread wave of rumors claiming he had recently converted to Islam and publicly declared his faith at Al-Azhar Mosque. This false narrative spread like wildfire, prompting a direct response from the artist to clarify the facts.

The truth about the rumor and the decisive response

Sources close to the artist and documented facts have revealed that the rumors circulating are completely false. Wael Awni is a Muslim by birth, and his full name is Wael Elsayed Ahmed. To refute these claims, activists shared previous photos of the artist performing Umrah in ihram clothing, which he had posted on his official Facebook page two years ago. This definitively dispels any doubt and refutes the alleged religious conversion.

Satire in the style of "Masrah Masr" (Egypt Theater)

Wael Aouni didn't lose his comedic spirit in responding to these rumors, commenting sarcastically that reflected his astonishment at the spread of such news. He initially said, "Well, I'm not going to respond," before adding, with a mix of seriousness and humor, "Guys, I'm a Muslim, I swear to God, and my name is Wael Elsayed Ahmed... Did anyone tell you I was a Buddhist?" The artist expressed his frustration with the sheer volume of malicious rumors circulating about him without any verification of their sources.

The phenomenon of social media rumors and their impact

The Wael Aouni incident has reopened the debate surrounding the phenomenon of rumors that plague celebrities, particularly those concerning their personal lives and religious beliefs. These rumors are often used as tools to generate engagement (trends) on platforms like TikTok and Facebook. Such rumors are a price of fame paid by celebrities, who become prime targets for pages seeking views, even at the expense of truth.

A remarkable artistic journey from Alexandria to stardom

Controversy aside, Wael Aouni boasts a distinguished artistic career that began in his hometown of Alexandria, where he was born on September 11, 1983. His artistic spark ignited in university theater, paving his way to a professional career. His participation in the "Teatro Masr" and "Masrah Masr" shows played a pivotal role in introducing him to the public as one of the most promising comedic talents.

His work spanned both film and television, where he participated in successful series such as "Ragel wa Sitt Sittat," "El Kabeer Awy," "El Le'ba," and "Afrah Iblis." In cinema, he left his mark in films like "1000 Mabrouk" with Ahmed Helmy, "Fasel wa Na'oud," and "Men Agl Zico.".

Anticipated artistic activity

On the current professional level, Wael Aouni continues his artistic activity, as he is participating in the series “Efraj” alongside the star Amr Saad, which is scheduled to be shown during the Ramadan drama marathon for the year 2026, which confirms his focus on his professional future away from the noise of digital platforms.
