In an indirect attack on his fellow Syrian artist Taim Hasan, actor Samir El-Masri issued a powerful message to his fellow artists, as well as to producers and writers, urging them to refrain from using foul language in Syrian drama.

In the details of this message, shared through a "story" on his Instagram account, Samir El-Masri emphasized the importance of respecting what he referred to as the "ceiling of decency" in art, warning against being swayed by "humor for the sake of humor" or "trends."

El-Masri stated, "Dear fellow artists, esteemed producers, and respected writers, please respect the ceiling of decency in art. When there is a dramatic justification for any scene, no matter how bold, we will certainly enjoy it."

He added, "However, when the work includes foul language and cheap jokes aimed at being humorous or seeking trends, it is disgusting and offensive to Syrian drama, which is known for respecting the intellect and taste of the Arab viewer."

Samir El-Masri participated in the current Ramadan season through the series "Muawiya," as well as the series "Under the Ground: Hot Season," which deals with a conflict among traders in Damascus at the beginning of the 20th century, set against a backdrop of excitement and suspense.

Social media audiences interpreted Samir El-Masri's message as an indirect attack on Taim Hasan, due to the bold use of terms in the Ramadan series "Under the Seventh Ground," which stirred discontent among many viewers.
