The filming of the series Eşref’s Dream, full of tension and dynamics, continues to attract major public attention. A large crowd gathered at the location where scenes with Eşref (Çağatay Ulusoy) and Nisan (Demet Özdemir) were shot, waiting for hours to see the actors in person.
Particular excitement surrounded the scenes where Eşref Tek sits in his favorite pistachio-green Cadillac — the crowd nearly blocked the set. Ulusoy barely managed to reach the car, and the crew had to increase security measures due to the overwhelming number of onlookers. Footage from the set quickly spread on social media and went viral.
