Filming of an Egyptian television series at a university in Cairo has been halted after Islamist students protested against ?indecent? costumes worn by the actresses, according to Breitbart.com.
Cairo?s Ain Shams University had given Misr International films, the production company, permission to film on its campus, Gaby Khoury, head of the company, told AFP, according to the site.
"When the shooting started, the director of the engineering faculty, Sherif Hammad, came to tell us that some students and teachers were against it, because of the clothing worn by the actresses," he said, the site reported.
The show is set in the 1970s, "when women wore short clothing."
The students found offense with the clothing and refused to let filming continue unless the costumes were changed, according to the site.
Adel Imam, the Arab world?s most famous actor, was earlier this month sentenced to three months in jail for ?defaming Islam? on stage and film, the site reported.
