He also co-starred with Farid Shawki in the famous television series “Al Bakheel Wa Ana” in 1991. Shortly after this series ended, Henedy went on to have tremendous success in “Ismailia Rayeh Gai,” starring Egypt’s Khaled El Nabawy and Mohamed Fouad, forever changing his place within Egyptian cinema. From this point forward, he was viewed as an icon in the comedy industry, with his films generating high revenues at the Egyptian box office.
