Egyptian producer Is'aad Younis has postponed the screening of the film "45 Days" starring young Egyptian actor Ahmad Fishawi to the winter season 

It was reported that Ahmad was angry over Is'aad’s decision.

According to the London based weekly, Laha, Is'aad explained that her decision was based on the fact that there are fewer films released in the winter increasing potential ticket sales.

“45 Days” features a number of prominent actors like Ghada Abdul Rizik, Izzat Abu Ouf, Hisham Salim, and Khaled Abu Al Najj, and Egyptian Hannan Turk makes a special guest appearance.

Ahmad plays a young man who lives with his wealthy parents and little sister.

His parents are murdered causing Ahmad to have a nervous breakdown. He is admitted into a psychiatric hospital for treatment, and his doctor decides to keep him for 45 days to carefully supervise his condition to see if he is mentally ill, or if he is in fact the killer who murdered his own parents.

The fate of Ahmad lies in the hands of his doctor who will decide if he will be permanently confined to the hospital, or if he will face the death penalty.  

The film is written by Mohammad Hafthy, and directed by newcomer Ahmad Yusri.
Ahmad revealed that the role required special preparations, particularly for his body language.

He welcomes the opportunity to star in a drama, and is hoping the film will boost his career, especially after his last film “The Seventh Sense” was not as successful as he had hoped.

Ahmad’s family made it a point to encourage and support their son by attending the film’s opening ceremony.

Ahmad denied the existence of disputes between him and producer Wael Abdullah, stating that the contract between them ended and now he is pleased to be affiliated with the ‘Arab Production Company.’
