Murat Soner on Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ: Talented but Unsuccessful

Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ

Turkish critic Murat Soner on Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ: “Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ is an attractive and talented actor, but since his role in the series *Kuzey Güney*, he has not managed to achieve significant success. Despite his looks and acting talent, the recent series he has been involved in have not been successful. Even the films on Netflix did not generate much interest, and his series are not being renewed for a second season. He has become expensive to produce, yet does not bring in substantial revenue, as the profit from his work benefits only himself. It is evident that he is closely tied to the company Ay Yapım and ought to sever this connection, but instead, he has formed a partnership with them. We wish him luck. As the new generation prefers actors who play ‘bad guys’ or ‘mafiosi,’ he continues to follow this path.”
