A few days ago, artist Tamer Hosni commented on a behind-the-scenes image of the movie "Al-Badla", which was circulated by director Mohamed El-Adl through his personal account on Facebook, saying, "God willing, we will simplify the audience again with (The Suit, Part Two)."
Which the audience considered an official announcement about preparations for the movie "Al-Badla 2".
Sharp popularity and mediocre technical level
It is noteworthy that the movie "Al-Badla 1" was released in 2018, and starred Akram Hosni and Amina Khalil, and his story was adapted from a foreign film entitled "Let's Be Cops". The Arab film succeeded at the time, exceeding expectations.
On the one hand, it was the first Arab film to be shown in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since cinemas were allowed to return, and on the other hand, it earned 67.3 million pounds, making it the highest-grossing movie in Egyptian cinema at the time.
However, the work remains technically modest by critics' standards despite its overwhelming popularity, which makes us wonder: Do the makers of the work have anything new to bet on next time, other than the love of the audience?
not the only one
The movie "Al-Badla 2" is not the only Arab work that will return with a new part to its audience in 2023. There are some other Egyptian films whose makers have announced the submission of other parts that will be shown within months, on top of those films:

103.6 million pounds, the total revenue of the movie "The Blue Elephant 2", which qualified it to become the highest profit in the history of Egyptian cinema so far, although it was released in 2019.
The second part was directed by Marwan Hamed and written by Ahmed Murad. As for the starring, Karim Abdel Aziz, along with Hend Sabry, Nelly Karim and Iyad Nassar, during which the events were completed 5 years after the first part, amid attempts by Doctor Yahya to solve a new mystery.

According to the statements of the hero of the work, the preparations for the film were decided to begin as soon as the series "The Choice 3" was completed, which actually happened with the end of the last month of Ramadan.
