What did Çağatay Ulusoy tell about new projects, Serenay and Duygu?

In his last interview with the Turkish press at the Madame Tussauds Museum, where the wax statue of his character Harun from the TV series Hakan Muhafiz / The Protector appeared, Çağatay Ulusoy spoke about new projects, about his beloved Duygu Sarışın and about the film with Serenay Sarikaya. What did the actor say?

On March 11, the Turkish branch of the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum presented its new item: the statue of the first Protector of Istanbul Harun, played by Çağatay Ulusoy in the popular Netflix series  Hakan Muhafiz / The Protector. The actor attended the presentation of his double, giving a short interview to the press. According to the creators of the statue, 170 working hours were spent on the figure and suit. It took 15 hours to create the eyes alone, 50 hours to create the face, 140 hours to the hair. The creation of the wax figure started over a year ago. 150 kilograms of clay were used.

Çağatay admitted that he was very glad that the first Netflix character in the Turkish Madame Tussauds Wax Museum belongs to his personage. He played three characters at once in the show, and initially the creators of the project were looking for an actor for the role of the first Protector of Istanbul. But Çağatay liked the character of Harun so much that he volunteered to play him. By the way, this was his first historical role. It was not easy, since turning into a historical personage took about three hours. Moreover, the make-up deteriorated over time, they had to stop and correct it.

When asked if he would agree to play two different characters in the next show, Çağatay replied that it was a matter of time. There’s not much time on the set in Turkish series, so this kind of wasting time is unlikely to be reasonable, but in films it is possible to do so.

Journalists asked if his weight gain was related to work on Harun’s image, but Çağatay denied this assumption, saying that work on the fourth season of The Protector was long over and his weight was related to another project. He wanted to try himself in a new image, to see how his new character would look, but this film will be made later, so he is now in his normal form. Recall that the Turkish media claim that the actor is preparing to work on a large historical project about the life of the outstanding wrestler Koca Yusuf, who weighed 140 kilograms.

Of course, journalists asked whether there would be a sequel of the series Hakan Muhafiz / The Protector and what are the Çağatay’s plans in the future. The actor confirmed that there will be a fourth season. Regarding future plans and the projects, Çağatay declined to answer, saying only that the projects were being prepared and as soon as there was something definite, they would certainly inform the press. We remind you that the actor prefers not to report anything unnecessary about his new series and films until they are in production. As Çağatay admitted in the previous interview, even his beloved woman did not know that he signed a contract with Netflix. Also, Çağatay refused to answer questions about Duygu Sarışın on the grounds that personal life should remain private.

The only thing Çağatay said with certainty is that he always wants to play new characters, try something that he has not done before. That is why he agreed to work on the first Netflix series. He enjoys watching the Turkish TV shows that the platform releases, he liked the TV show Atiye / The Gift, and in general he is proud of what Turkish producers are doing now for Netflix. Each new work increases interest in Turkey and attracts new viewers who watch Turkish TV shows.

Regarding the vexing question that he allegedly refused to work together with Serenay Sarikaya in an international project, Çağatay said that such rumors appear constantly, but there is nothing like that. There was no such offer.

Journalists noted that Çağatay had taken a long break from his work on television and asked if he planned to return to Turkish screens. The actor stated that he has no limits, he can play both drama and comedy, he has no special preferences, the main thing is that story truly affects him and creates a spiritual contact with the character he plays. That’s why he’s so happy that the museum will have the character he played, not the wax statue of Çağatay himself. Because he put a lot of work into it and a little bit of his soul.

The interview with Çağatay Ulusoy turned out to be an accurate reflection of the actor himself. He prefers not to disclose his future plans until they are put into practice. Fans of the star can only follow his career and be ready for pleasant surprises.
