SadaNews - After years of waiting and amid a flurry of solo projects, the artist Ahmed Fahmy finally shared the spotlight with the popular star Ahmed El Sakka, who is considered his greatest supporter and friend throughout his artistic career, in a different cinematic experience titled "Ahmed and Ahmed." The film has been long anticipated, not only because it features two prominent names but also due to the reflection of an old friendship that has evolved into a mature artistic partnership, following a lengthy wait from the audience for this collaboration.
