The actor also took part in the film “Sayyid al-‘Attafee” with Tamer Housni and the film “Ew’a Wishak” with Ahmed ‘Eid and Ahmed Rezk. Thereafter he worked on one of his most important projects, “Tabakh al-Raees” (The President’s Chef), in his first independent lead. In September 2007, Tal’at Zakkariyah suffered an inflammation in a blood vessel in his brain and fell into a coma. However, he later recovered, and “Tabakh al-Raees” achieved good returns. Among his most important leads which saw him being awarded prizes was the film “al-Sayyid Abou al-‘Araby Wissil” (“Mr. Abou al-‘Araby has Arrived”). Tal’at collaborated with Hani Ramzi and Wahid Youssif on that work. Another film of his was “Abou ‘Ali”, a work that saw him collaborate with Kareem ‘Abd Al ‘Azeez and Mona Zaki.
