Abbas Al-Nouri rejoins arabic series Ezel amid cast changes and controversy

Abbas Al-Nouri has rejoined the Arabic cast of the television series Ezel, and he is shooting his part in Istanbul. 

Even though Ahmed Al-Ahmad was meant to play Genghis, Khaled Al-Qish has stepped in. ET Bil Arabi secured insider information.

According to our sources, Al-Nouri expressed regret for finishing the project because of the demanding shooting schedule for these works, which would have left the actor physically and mentally drained. He ultimately decided that the Arabic drama was not for him.

After shooting had begun in Istanbul, our sources broke the news of Abbas Al-Nouri’s departure, which caused a tremendous deal of controversy and disappointed lovers of Arabic drama.

As originally anticipated, Abbas will reprise his part as (the uncle), replacing Tungal Kurtiz, who played the same role in the Turkish version.

Shortly after Rita Hayek and Ahmed Al-Ahmad left the series, Pamela Al-Kik replaced Hayek due to disagreements with the work’s director, Banal Tairi.

One follower commented, “It seems that there are many problems in this work, after the withdrawal of Rita Hayek and Ahmed Al-Ahmad, and now Abbas Al-Nouri, God protect us from the withdrawal of Basil Khayat.” Others took to social media to react to the news of Al-Nouri’s withdrawal, voicing their concerns about the frequent changes in the work crew.

The news arrives as Abbas Al-Nouri continues his artistic career with a guest appearance on the Ramadan 2025 season of the series “Madina Kitchen.” The cast also includes Bassam Kousa, Samer Ismail, and Sulafa Memar. Rumor has it that the show will examine the lives of people who work in the culinary industry, following the lead of writer Ali Wajeeh, who often features a different occupation in his writing.
