Ramadan series, despite the approaching end of the holy month, are still struggling to survive and continue, as they face problems from more than one side, including evaluations from official bodies, communications by the Attorney General, and complaints from unions and responsible parties against some actions.

The legal pursuit against some acts and serials did not stop, and the matter sometimes reached the judiciary and the Office of the Public Prosecutor, as some submitted reports to the Public Prosecutor, and the series "Kings of Jadaanah" was one of the series that fell within the range of criticism and attack, and was chased by some legal cases. Ashraf Nagy issued an official communication to the Public Prosecutor against him, calling for his suspension and referring the complainant (the series crew) to trial, for their incitement to non-compliance with the laws, embellishing the commission of crimes, disturbing security and public peace, and publishing false news and statements about Egyptian society.

And he considered that the series depicts Egyptian society as full of gangs and thuggery, which causes panic among people and leads to a bear of terror in their hearts.

Problematic scene

Muhammad Ramadan was also on a date because of the series "Musa" with the reports. Lawyer Samir Sabri submitted a report to the Attorney General against the hero of the work, because of the scene that caused a great confusion, and a representative appeared in it who embodies the character of the late artist Ismail Yassin, and that he does not pay the price of what he buys. Some considered him mocking the late great artist.

Because of the scene, the lawyer, Samir Sabry, accused Mohamed Ramadan of insulting the deceased.

Likewise, poet and screenwriter Ayman Bahjat Qamar filed a complaint against the artist, Mohamed Ramadan, to the Artists Syndicate, for the same reason, and despite Ramadan presenting a scene attached to the series after the crisis, in which he confirms that the person who embodies Ismail Yassin is a professional impostor, impersonating the great artist, and perhaps the scene succeeded in absorbing Public anger, but it was not a reason to waive the anti-Ramadan communications.
