However, in this film, he finds himself caught up in a major heist that necessitates the help of a team. This new dynamic brings about a series of complications, as the team he assembles turns out to be more of a liability than an asset, leading to chaotic situations that threaten the success of their mission. The film also stars Ruby, Lebleba, Hatem Salah, Os Os, and Ahmed Fahim, with a number of cameos that include Ahmed El Sakka, Karim Fahmy, and others.
