Director Khaled Youssef sparked controversy in the past hours, after he made many bold statements, including the will of the late director Youssef Chahine to him.
Youssef Chahine’s will to Khaled Youssef
During a media interview with him, Khaled Youssef said: “For the first time, I will tell this scene in sound and image. I was sitting with Professor Youssef, and suddenly he said, ‘Neither do I, when I die.
And he continued: “I was very surprised and told him why do you mean? He said, “I want this. This is the scene I want at my funeral. Of course, if I said this after his departure, who would believe this? He could say that I am heresy.”
And he went on: “I went the second day along to his nephews, Gabi and Marianne Khoury, and the professor is seated, and I told them the professor said one, two, so their response was amazing to me. .
He drew: “I was surprised on the day of death. I sat with them and told us, what will we do about what he said, because this is considered a will? We have to go back to the security authorities.”
He added: “They also told me that I have to speak to someone in the Ministry of the Interior, so he told me what you are saying. This will make two hearts in the country, and we are not lacking, and the security refused to hold mourning.”
