"I have the highest fee in Egypt... No one takes a higher fee than me except my father"... With these words, artist Mohamed Emam, son of the legend Adel Emam, surprised the audience during a TV interview on Monday evening.

In detail, Emam, during a conversation with journalist Amr Adib on the program "Al-Hekaya" broadcast on "MBC Masr", expressed his happiness with the high revenues achieved by his new film "Saqr wa Canaria" in the first weeks of its release, despite the difficulties facing cinemas due to World Cup matches and the ongoing high school exams in Egypt.

When asked about the highest-paid star, he replied: "I have the highest fee in Egypt.. that's known, I mean.. but I don't like to say."

Adib asked him to repeat the sentence, so Emam reiterated: "I have the highest fee in Egypt... in the Arab world."

Ahmed Al-Awadi and Mohamed Ramadan

However, he quickly clarified that he was joking with the journalist, stressing that those with the highest box office revenues and the highest viewership in drama are definitely the highest paid, citing the duo Ahmed Ezz and Karim Abdel Aziz, who achieved the highest revenues in their films.

Emam also mentioned that there are stars in drama, including Ahmed Al-Awadi and Mohamed Ramadan.

When Adib asked him if these artists receive a higher fee than him, he answered: "No one takes a higher fee than me... except Adel Emam."

He emphasized that if his father decided to return tomorrow with a film, he would be the highest among everyone, noting that the highest fee among them would not reach half of what the legend receives.

He also confirmed that his father used to receive the highest fee and never went public to announce it.
