Esra Bilgiç refused to star in the series
Not very pleasant news for Esra Bilgiç’s fans. It is reported that the star has unexpectedly left the cast of the series “Let It Remain a Secret” (or “Saklı Kalsın” in Turkish), in which she was supposed to star alongside Şükrü Özyıldız. So, what happened?
Prominent journalist Birsen Altuntaş reports that Esra Bilgiç has made the decision to leave the cast of the O3 Medya series “Let It Remain a Secret,” where she was set to act alongside Şükrü Özyıldız. The official reason cited is a scheduling conflict. The journalist claims that since the filming of the series, which was supposed to start in April, was delayed, Esra could not find time in her schedule as she is set to appear in the film “The Art of Love” alongside Birkan Sokullu, also produced by the same company.
Recall that previously Esra also unexpectedly left the Netflix series “The Tailor” and her role was ultimately played by Şifanur Gül. The official reason for the actress’s departure was said to be the producer’s desire to limit her involvement in other projects until the series premiered on Netflix (although this did not prevent Şifanur from appearing in a series on Fox TV).
This time, we are unlikely to find out the real reason behind the star’s decision. However, it should be noted that Yağmur Tanrısevsin and Feyyaz Duman have also left the show. Furthermore, Feyyaz has joined the cast of the series “My Name is Farah” by the same company, so it is unlikely that there are any disagreements with O3 Medya.
Preparations for the series “Let It Remain a Secret” are still ongoing. The show is intended for broadcasting in Latin America and has also been sold for airing on the Fox TV channel.
