💡 Did You Know?
The film is a co-production involving two state-aligned entities: Synergy, which operates with the backing of the Egyptian government, and Big Time, owned by Saudi General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki Al-Sheikh. Seen in that light, the absence of political context is not incidental. The film opts instead for a carefully curated, sanitized portrayal of Umm Kulthum's life, avoiding the political tensions, power structures, and historical contradictions that were inseparable from her public persona and cultural influence.
