Egyptian director Khaled Youssef was a guest on the Lebanese TV show "Yalla Nihki", during which he discussed his thoughts on politics and the film industry. Youssef spoke about his disappointment with the political system in Egypt and his belief that the gains in politics are different from those in the creative field. He also mentioned that honesty is key in acting and that the audience will only appreciate an actor if they are truthful in their portrayal of a character. When asked about criticism of his films, Youssef stressed that he doesn't take it personally and that the audience's opinion is more important than that of the critics. Finally, he shared his aspirations for future film projects, including an epic film about Andalusia, which he has been working on for a long time, and that he will start working on one of his four current projects in the upcoming weeks.
