In an interview with Tony Khalifa on a program called “The People Want” Negm condemned the movie and explained that his ex-wife is a great and professional critic.“Al Fagoumi” is written and directed by Essam Al Shamaa, starring Khaled El Sawi and Salah Abdulla portraying Negm and his lifelong friend “Shiekh Imam Eissa”
