The problem is not the script, but the money?

Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Serenay Sarikaya

The Turkish media continue to indulge in fantasies about why Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ abandoned the series “If the King Loses”. The new version from journalist Ismail Bayrak looks even more fantastic. It turns out that Kıvanç asked for 1.5 million Turkish liras for starring in the series. Serenay Sarikaya asked 1 million Turkish liras. Then the producer refused their candidacies and began looking for other actors for the main roles.

Someone tell this journalist that there are no such salaries on Turkish television at all and never have been. The largest announced fee in the press is 400,000 Turkish liras, and in the end, the owner of the channel abandoned the series, realizing that he would not be able to pay such a fee.
