Yasser and Ramiz Galal, both prominent Egyptian actors, have initiated legal proceedings against fellow actor Ahmed Maher due to derogatory remarks made about their late father, Jalal Tawfiq, in a circulated video. The legal action follows their formal complaint to the legal representation office headed by Ashraf Abdel Aziz, who is representing them in this matter. They are monitoring the investigation currently underway within the Actors' Syndicate to ensure appropriate legal actions are taken against those involved in the production and dissemination of the disparaging video.

In response to the incident, the Actors' Syndicate has expressed its solidarity with the Galal family, affirming their support for Yasser and Ramiz while extending an apology regarding the contents of the video that reportedly contained insults to the late director. They have confirmed that the situation has been escalated for an expedited investigation, allowing for swift corrective measures to be enacted as needed to uphold the dignity of their profession and its members.

Ahmed Maher has been summoned for questioning by the Syndicate as part of the investigation process following the backlash from the video that not only disparaged Ramiz Galal but also insulted his father, Jalal Tawfiq. The legal and professional ramifications of this incident highlight the need for accountability and respect within the Egyptian artistic community, and it reflects ongoing dialogue about proper decorum in public and online discourse among public figures.
