Mohamed Ramadan lit up his official Facebook page late Tuesday with a public message to fellow Egyptian star Ahmed Floks — congratulating him on his engagement, invoking the charged line “redemption and prison for the brave,” and inviting him to guest-star in his upcoming Ramadan 2027 series “Ashmawi,” Al Arabiya reported.
Three Fast Facts About the Ramadan–Floks Post
- Ramadan’s message combined an engagement congratulation, the phrase “kafara and prison for the brave” — a reference to Floks’s past incarceration — and a formal invitation to appear as a guest of honor in “Ashmawi Ramadan 2027.”
- Floks has not publicly responded, and no official statement confirms either his acceptance or the end of the reported feud, according to Okaz.
“Kafara and Prison for the Brave”: The Line That Split the Feed
Writing on his verified Facebook account, Ramadan addressed Floks directly: “My message to the Egyptian star Ahmed Floks. kafara and prison for the brave. a thousand congratulations on the engagement, and may God complete it for you with goodness. and grant you success and peace of mind,” Masrawy reported. The phrase immediately drew wide debate online, with followers questioning both the wisdom of posting such a message publicly and whether it carried an indirect hint — a reading some applied equally to the earlier note aimed at Al-Awadi.
Fifteen Years After “Ehna El-Talaba”
Ramadan and Floks last shared a project in the 2011 series “Ehna El-Talaba” (“We Are the Students”), which also starred Mohamed Negati, Rim El-Baroudi, Donia Abdel Aziz, Nermeen Maher, Soussan Badr, Madeline Tabar, Naglaa Badr and others, Okaz noted. After that production wrapped, talk of a falling-out between the two men surfaced, and Floks himself once stated in a television interview that he refused to work with Ramadan — which is why this week’s public invitation has drawn so much attention roughly 15 years after their only collaboration.
No official announcement confirms that the dispute has ended, and Floks has not declared whether he accepts the role, leaving their possible reunion as an open probability awaiting a decision, Okaz reported.
“Ashmawi” and the Battle to Define Ramadan 2027
The invitation lands as Ramadan prepares to return to Ramadan-season drama after an absence that began after “Gaafar Al-Omda” in 2023. “Ashmawi” is currently filming in Cairo, with scenes shot daily at indoor and outdoor locations around the city, including the Media Production City and downtown Cairo, where large crowds have gathered around the set, Akhbarak reported. Producer Sadek Al-Sabah moved to quash separate rumors of friction between Ramadan and director Peter Mimi, insisting the reports are untrue and that production is proceeding normally on schedule ahead of Ramadan 2027.
The cast list alone shows how much weight the season carries: alongside Ramadan are Bassem Samra, Yousra, Esad Younis, Essam El-Sakka, Mohamed Abdel Hafiz, Intisar, Walid Foaz, Mohsen Mansour and Jessica Hossam El-Din, with Mohamed Sami appearing as a guest of honor. The series is written by Mohamed Ismail Amin, directed by Peter Mimi, and produced by Sadek Al-Sabah.

Floks’s Response
For now, the only on-record position from Floks remains his earlier televised refusal to work with Ramadan. Since Ramadan’s post went live, Floks has issued no statement accepting, declining, or commenting on the “Ashmawi” invitation, and neither side has confirmed any private contact between them. The public post, the engagement congratulations, and the professional offer all stand as Ramadan’s words alone — and as of late Tuesday, the silence from Floks’s side is the loudest response the story has produced. As Ramadan put it in his own closing line, “your presence is an addition to any project” — whether that addition ever happens now depends on an answer that has not yet arrived.
