Rania Youssef signed a contract to star in "Khotoot Hamra" ("Red lines") with super star Ahmed El Sakka, after Ghada Adel apologised for turning down the offer due to her involvement in another series called "Al Ahd" (The Covenant), airing in Ramadan 2012. The series is about the hardships human beings have to face as they put "red lines" around themselves.
