Film producers Levitate Film and The Media Brothers deny Soundos El Ahmadi’s allegations of pregnancy discrimination. The actual casting procedure would not have started yet.
“For the time being, we have preferred, first of all, for artistic reasons, to invite other actresses to audition for this role,” the joint statement said.
“In addition, the shooting period may also take place when Soundos is heavily pregnant. The physically demanding role as a youth football coach (described in our script) would then be risky for herself and her baby as well as for the film production. We are also following the health and safety advice of the national government on the area of physical strain and pregnancy.”
El Ahmadi made Wednesday on Instagram familiar that she is pregnant. She also reported that that is why she has the role in the film Lioness was not allowed to play, even though she would have been asked to. According to the comedienne, there is pregnancy discrimination. “Now they don’t want me anymore. I’m really devastated,” said the actress.
