After over 25 years of mystery and controversy surrounding one of Egypt's most infamous crimes, the Beny Mazar case has resurfaced through drama. Actor Michel Milad has sparked public interest with his unique appearance in the series "Ma Lam Yahki 'an Beny Mazar," which promises to unravel the enigma surrounding the 2005 crime. Milad plays one of the accused in the real-life case, in a production that relies on suspense and intrigue.
Milad revealed that he was drawn to the project due to the nature of the crime and the opportunity to portray a complex character. He emphasized that his role is a departure from his previous performances, and he aimed to explore a different side of his acting abilities. According to Milad, his character has a surprising dramatic twist that will be revealed throughout the series.
The series, set to air on September 25, is based on real events that took place in Beny Mazar, Minya Governorate, in 2005. On that fateful night, 10 people were killed in three rural homes, and the perpetrator vanished without leaving behind any clear evidence. The case, known as the "Beny Mazar massacre," has remained a topic of public interest and speculation for years.
Milad shared that he prepared for his role by studying the case files, events, and relevant documents. He worked closely with dialect coach, Ustath Abdul Rasul, to master the local Minya dialect used in the series. The production team opted to film entirely in Cairo, contrary to reports suggesting filming took place in Minya.
When asked if the series would shed light on the truth behind the crime, Milad stated that while it would provide insight into the events, it would not solve the mystery. He attributed the enduring mystery to the complexity of the case and the numerous details surrounding it. Milad expressed his excitement about collaborating with co-stars Ahmed Abdel Wahab and Khaled El Saawy.
The Beny Mazar case has been a subject of public fascination since 2005, with many questions left unanswered. The new series aims to provide a fresh perspective on the events, albeit through a dramatized lens. Milad emphasized that revealing too much about the plot would spoil the viewing experience, and therefore, some aspects would remain under wraps.
The series promises to keep viewers engaged as it unfolds, with unexpected twists and turns. Milad's portrayal of a key character is expected to add depth to the narrative, and his performance has generated significant interest among fans. The show's creators aim to strike a balance between fact and fiction, providing an engaging drama that stimulates discussion about the real-life events.
