Egyptian director Tarek Alarian has announced the inclusion of actor Ahmed El Sakka in the upcoming installment of the "Wlad Rizk" film series, where he will portray a completely new character not seen in previous parts. Alarian is currently working on the script for the fourth part of the series, which has enjoyed widespread popular success. He revealed that the cast of this new installment will be entirely different from previous ones, with the story set 20 years before the events depicted in earlier films. The director highlighted that Ahmed El Sakka's role represents a significant shift in his artistic career, differing from all the roles he has played before, with potential plans to utilize this character in a new project after filming concludes. Regarding the rest of the cast, agreements have been made with Ahmed Malik, his brother Hassan Malik, and Youssef Raafat, with the possibility of actress Aya Samaha joining as well. Alarian did not rule out appearances by some stars from earlier parts at the end of the film, although this remains uncertain as the script is still in development. It is worth noting that the first "Wlad Rizk" film premiered in 2015 and was highly successful, followed by the second part in 2019, and the third part, filmed in Saudi Arabia and released in 2024, which featured actor Asser Yassin and also achieved popular acclaim, paving the way for the preparation of the fourth installment.
