Was the script for the series ‘Sandık Kokusu’ plagiarized?

The Scent of the Chest (Sandık Kokusu)

Birsen Altuntaş quotes director Cemal Şan, who stated that the plot of the series “The Scent of the Chest” (Sandık Kokusu) exactly duplicates a series with the same name that was prepared 15 years ago for the channel D.

Recall that screenwriter Melis Civelek claimed that she was inspired by her own story when her little daughter Feyza almost got lost.

However, Cemal Şan assures that he and the screenwriter İlker Barış were preparing this exact series for the company Avşar Film, which was supposed to produce the project for the channel D, but the collaboration never materialized. Interestingly, at that time, Melis Civelek was the manager of the D channel. Mr. Şan stated that in the event of a lawsuit from the screenwriter against O3 Medya, he would assist him.
