There have been changes in Kanal 7’s series “Lost Years”: due to the relocation of filming to Çanakkale, both lead actors — Burak Sarımola and, reportedly, Aslıhan Karalar — have left the project. The fate of the series is currently unknown.

Aslıhan Malbora will make her stage debut in the play “The Nature of Things”. Written by Ferhat Ergün, the production will pair the actress with Mert Turak. Produced by Aysa Prodüksiyon, the project will offer Malbora the chance to experience the magic of live performance and the unique thrill of direct contact with the audience.

Recently, Aytaç Şaşmaz, who just turned 27, was surprised during a magazine photoshoot on an island. The actor will soon begin filming, preparing to play the lead role in the series “You Are My Favorite”.

It has been revealed that Mert Demir, who was planning to travel to France with Serenay Sarıkaya, was denied a Schengen visa. As a result, Serenay had to fly to Nice alone.

Can Yaman posted a new update: “The producers did me a great kindness by allowing me to watch all eight episodes of ‘Sandokan’, and I watched them with goosebumps the entire time. All the long wait and emotions were worth it — it turned out flawless. I’m proud to have worked with a direction that managed to highlight all the strengths of the project and carried out a special work that we will always be proud of.”

Lawyer of Berk Oktay released a statement claiming that the actor is the target of a systematic campaign of slanderous and baseless accusations damaging his reputation and personal rights. The document emphasizes that the circulated claims have no factual basis and distort the truth. The defense states its readiness to take all necessary legal measures to protect Berk Oktay’s rights and dignity.

Özge Törer said goodbye to her character Bala Hatun, whom she portrayed in the series “Establishment: Osman”. “Our story began in 2019, and I don’t even know where to start… Bala Hatun has taken such a special place in my heart that I will cherish it for life. This is not just a farewell to my first major role… I asked for your forgiveness, because portraying a fictional character is one thing, but bringing a historical figure to life is entirely different. We touched millions of hearts with great responsibility. I learned so much from you, discovered unknown feelings, and tried to convey both your pain and your joy. I’m glad I had you, my Bala…”

Tuba Büyüküstün has been offered a role in the second season of the series “If the King Loses”, adapted from the novel by Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu. Çetin Tekindor may also join the project. Previously, Büyüküstün and Halit Ergenç worked together in two films and one mini-series.

Özgü Kaya has joined the cast of the new TRT 1 series “Children of Heaven”, produced by Motto Yapım. The actress will play a character named Gönül.
