Çetin Tekindor

Great news for all fans of Turkish TV series! Çetin Tekindor, who has been absent from TV screens for a long time, is getting ready to return to work. And this time the audience is waiting for a series about love and family values.

Right now, Turkish producers are preparing at a frantic pace for the new television season, which starts this fall. Onur Güvenatam, the owner of OGM Pictures, known for the TV series “Apartment of the Innocents”, “Chrysalis” and “The Red Room”, has signed an exclusive contract with Star TV channel, for which he is developing a number of new TV shows.

One of such projects is the series “From Antep / Antepli” starring Afra Saraçoğlu (Seyran) and Mert Ramazan Demir (Ferit). Directed by Burcu Alptekin. Filming of the series was supposed to start in June, but they were briefly postponed, as this month Mert Ramazan will be filming the second season of the series “Şahmaran” starring Serenay Sarikaya and Burak Deniz.

The main surprise that the producer has prepared for the audience will be the name of the performer of the role of the grandfather of the protagonist, named Halis Ağa. According to the well-known journalist Birsen Altuntas, negotiations are underway with one of the most popular actors of the older generation, Çetin Tekindor. The parties are ready to sign an agreement if there are no changes at the last minute.

The plot focuses on a young girl whom the patriarch of a wealthy family, Halis Aga, brought from a provincial town as a bride for his grandson, who leads a rather free lifestyle. In order to restrain the young man, disgracing the honor of the family, the grandfather decided to marry him to the daughter of a respected family. After the girl’s arrival in Istanbul, events will go completely wrong.
