"Finding Ola 2" Changed My Perspective on Filming Behind the Scenes.
Concept Team
Hend Sabry Supported Me a Lot, and Hadi El Bagoury Has a Calm Demeanor.
Actress Sara Essam expressed her great happiness with the positive feedback she received for her role in the series Finding Ola 2, which is currently being streamed on an international platform. In the series, Sara portrays the character "Soha," a bank employee seeking marriage.
In a press statement, Sara said: "The series Finding Ola changed my perception of what happens behind the scenes of filming. The atmosphere was calm and filled with love, contrary to what I had heard about loud voices and conflicts. Everyone was highly cooperative, starting with director Hadi El Bagoury, who I consider a personification of his name, 'Hadi' (meaning 'calm' in Arabic), as he truly has a very calm demeanor, and up to actress Hend Sabry, who supported me a lot during filming. She would add dialogue lines to my role and guide me on how to deliver them, which made me very happy."
She added: "The character of Soha carries a lot of emotions and traits, the most important of which is her excessive honesty, which can make her come across as blunt, but in reality, she doesn't have bad intentions. This was the main trait I built the character around."
It's worth noting that Sara Essam received widespread praise during the first season of the series, particularly on social media, where she played the character "Soha," the cousin of Hany Adel, Ola Abd El Sabour's ex-husband. Her character was marked by hostility and frustration, but she lacked any malicious intent. Among the most prominent comments she received was: "She embodies a character we encounter often in our daily lives."
It is also worth mentioning that Finding Ola is Sara Essam's first acting experience. She participated in several acting workshops under the guidance of prominent trainers, most notably Marwa Gabriel, who recommended her for the series after meeting the production team.
