He received a one-year prison sentence, yet he only stayed in jail for six months.[7]

In 2010, he released The Light of My Eyes. The Light of My Eyes was about Ahmad (who goes under the stage name Noor) a young music composer (Tamer Hosny) and a blind girl named Sarah (Menna Shalabi) and the great love story between them. Sarah broke up with Noor after a misunderstanding, and she decided to go to America for surgery in order to regain her eyesight. While Noor had to deal with the death of his brother, he had to deal with the fact that Sarah has left him. As she moved on with her life, she fell in love with her doctor Tarek (), who decided to marry her in back Egypt. What she didn't know is that Tarek and Noor Were childhood friends, and when Noor met Tarek in the airport he found out that his friend's fiancée is his love, Sarah.

Noor ended up facing the heartbreak silently until the events lead up to the discovery of this strange twist of fate!

In a recent interview on the Set El Hosn (Beautiful lady) program, he admitted that "I'm not happy with how the movie turned out, although many people love it and it was a box office success. I don't blame anyone else for that. I take responsibility for it. We had to make major plot changes due to financial reasons."[10]

After three years away from the movie industry, he released Ahwak alongside Ghada Adel and Ahmed Malek, a romantic comedy about a young plastic surgeon who falls in love with a divorced woman. The film was a success at the box office, with total revenue of 22 million Egyptian pounds.[11]
