His Ramadan broadcast, Khutuwat Al-Shaytan, was widely viewed across the Arab world. In 2017, Masoud produced the Egyptian film Clash which has been hailed as: āone of the most telling depictions of modern Egypt yet filmedā, and the film was selected to represent Egypt in the OsĀcarsā 2017 Best Foreign Language Film category. Masoud has a following of over 25 million on varĀious social media sites, including YouTube videos, Facebook and Twitter.
