Devrim Özkan, who was initially set to play the lead role alongside Aras Bulut İynemli in the series “Genius,” (Deha) expressed dissatisfaction with the changes in the script, and her indecision created challenges for the filming crew. Ultimately, her role was given to Melis Sezen.

Aras Bulut İynemli, one of the most popular actors of recent years, had been preparing for his new role in the series alongside Devrim Özkan. However, the news that Melis Sezen had replaced her caused quite a stir. What led to this change in casting?

According to reports from Turkish media, Devrim Özkan’s indecisiveness was causing difficulties for the production team. The actress was unhappy with changes made to her character compared to the original version of the script, which raised doubts in her mind. This led to communication issues with the producers.

In the end, due to the resulting uncertainty, the team decided to give her role to Melis Sezen. It should be noted that initially, Devrim was supposed to play the leading role, but the producer later decided to offer this role to Ahsen Eroğlu. Devrim was then offered the role of Imre, which did not satisfy the actress. As a result, she left the project.
