The same year, he received an offer to audition for a pivotal role in the sequel to the movie "El-Gezirah" (2007),which became "The Island 2" in 2014. This role propelled him to regional stardom in the Middle East and cemented his status as one of the most successful and sought-after Egyptian actors of his generation.
