İlhan Şen

The news is unexpected and extremely upsetting for fans of İlhan Şen. The actor, who was set to play the lead role in the TV series “Selahaddin Eyyubi,” has left the cast. What happened, then?

The famous journalist Birsen Altuntas reports that İlhan Şen has decided to leave the cast of the series. It should be noted that the actor had a contract with Akli Film and was slated to star in a digital series about the legendary Sultan Salah ad-Din, who is credited with conquering Jerusalem from the Christians. The actor’s anticipated role in the TV show had been delayed twice, first to the New Year and then to the summer.

According to info given by the journalist, the series, which was originally scheduled to air on the BeIN Connect digital platform, will instead be broadcast on television or another major digital platform. İlhan made the decision to quit the program since he could no longer wait. He is now starring with Cemre Baysel in the film “Love Movie,” and he will take into account any future work offers.

The producers parted ways with İlhan Şen because the new client insisted that the shows’ lead actor be a big star, according to informed people close to the producers. An understanding was struck using the phrase “he made his own decision to leave the cast” in order to avoid hurting the actor.
