Al-Shuaibi says “Before closing the air and land borders, I was busy filming the series ‘One Billion’ by producer Khaled Al-Rifai in Saudi Arabia.

She added: “Undoubtedly, stopping the filming of the series is not an easy thing, especially since the director and producer have come a long way in filming, where 100 scenes remain for me and I event went to the extent of asking the producer to find another actor in my place so he does not suffer double losses.

Al-Shuaibi explained many producers adhere to ministerial decisions and have announced that they have stopped filming in order to avoid punishment and to preserve the integrity of the work team.
