    Bosnian Actress Merjem Šiljak Joins Akın Akınözü in Aşk ve Taht

    Digital Phablet – Bosnian actress Merjem Šiljak joins Akın Akınözü in Aşk ve Taht.

    Production is gaining momentum on Aşk ve Taht (Love and the Throne), one of Turkey’s most ambitious historical dramas currently in development. Produced by Mehmet Bozdağ for Bozdağ Film, the ATV series has officially entered the next phase with its initial costume script reading. The production has also introduced Bosnian actress Merjem Šiljak as the new Maryam and a leading star opposite Akın Akınözü.

    The project has already garnered significant attention in Turkish entertainment circles due to its panoramic historical setting, internationally assembled cast, and a creative team behind some of Turkey’s most successful TV shows.

    According to Turkish media sources, the cast recently gathered for a costume rehearsal and script reading—marking their first chance to appear together in period costumes before filming begins.

    The series is led by Akın Akınözü, who plays Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat, a prominent ruler of the Anatolian Seljuk State. Opposite him is Bosnian actress Merjem Šiljak, cast as Princess Destina—initially referred to as Maryam during early development—and she joins the main cast alongside Akın Akınözü. Also starring is Simay Barlas as Melike Hatun, another pivotal character.

    The story centers on Alaeddin Keykubat’s rise from captivity to the throne, depicting a critical chapter in Anatolian Seljuk history. The narrative promises a rich blend of historical accuracy and emotional storytelling, exploring themes of love, betrayal, political rivalry, palace intrigue, and harem politics—offering a fresh take on a rarely portrayed love story set within the royal court.

    During the costume reading event, Akın Akınözü, Merjem Šiljak, and Simay Barlas expressed their excitement about joining the production, optimistic as they prepare for filming.

    The cast also features Ayça Bingöl, Cem Bender, Halil İbrahim Ceyhan, Ferit Kaya, Ceren Benderlioğlu, Murat Serezli, Emrah Altıntoprak, İdil Yener, Özgür Emre Yıldırım, Oğulcan Arman Uslu, Ece Yüksel, Bülent Gültekin, Halil İbrahim Temizoğlu, Mücahid Temizel, Merve Polat, Selin Genç, Hakan Eke, Alican Albayrak, Ahmet Kayakesen, Göksel Kayahan, Timur Ölkebaş, Özer Arslan, Erman Saban, Ozan Ayhan, and İlayda Yıldız.

    A standout element of this production has been Akınözü’s physical transformation. To accurately portray Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat, he dedicated months to preparation, growing his hair long to reflect the appearance of the 13th-century Seljuk ruler.

    Turkish media also reports that Akınözü underwent extensive research on the historical figure and period’s political climate. His costume, hairstyle, and overall look were meticulously designed to embody one of Anatolia’s most renowned sultans.

    Behind the scenes, the series is directed by acclaimed filmmakers Yağmur Taylan and Durul Taylan, collectively known as the Taylan Brothers, alongside Cem Toluay. The Taylan Brothers are among Turkey’s most respected directors, renowned for their critically acclaimed and commercially successful dramas.

    Additional social media moments from the cast include exchanges about their enthusiasm for the upcoming series, sharing their excitement during costume fittings and script readings, and promoting the project on platforms like Instagram and Twitter.

    The screenplay focuses on Alaeddin Keykubat’s journey from imprisonment to royal power, portraying a significant era in Anatolian Seljuk history. Rather than solely highlighting military triumphs or political maneuvers, the series aims to weave historical facts with an emotional narrative that delves into romance, betrayal, dynastic rivalry, palace schemes, and harem politics.

    Producers emphasize that Aşk ve Taht will tell a powerful love story rarely depicted on screen, while also exploring the delicate balance between personal affections and political ambition within the royal court.

    During the costume reading, lead actors shared their excitement, and the production team expressed confidence in the series’ potential. With its rich historical backdrop, extensive cast, detailed costumes, and skilled director team, Aşk ve Taht is positioned as one of ATV’s most anticipated historical dramas. Expectations continue to grow as filming approaches, aiming to blend Turkish history with epic romance and palace intrigue on a grand scale.

    Digital Phablet – Burak Özçivit’s new co-star Beyza Gümülcine undergoes significant character alterations before filming begins.

    Turkish actress Beyza Gümülcine is gearing up for what could be the most pivotal role of her career. She has been chosen as the leading lady opposite Burak Özçivit in ATV’s eagerly awaited new drama Güneşin Doğduğu Yer. As filming approaches, new insights have surfaced concerning her casting journey and adjustments made to her character.

    Sources indicate Gümülcine will appear alongside Özçivit, who portrays the main character, Kenan Kozan. The series is produced by Tims&b Productions, one of Turkey’s premier TV production companies, and is already considered one of ATV’s flagship dramas for the upcoming season.

    One recent update concerns her character. Media reports suggest the role initially bore the name Tina, but the production team has decided to rename her Leyla before filming. Although no official reason has been provided for the name change, it signifies ongoing creative revisions during pre-production.

    It has also been revealed that Gümülcine secured her leading role through a competitive audition process. According to entertainment journalist Birsen Altuntaş, she participated in a screen test along with three other finalists, on a specially prepared set provided by the production team. During auditions, each finalist performed scenes opposite Özçivit. After assessing their chemistry, the production chose Gümülcine, believing her on-screen connection with Özçivit best aligned with the series’ vision.

    Securing this role was a major career decision for her. Her most recent appearance was as Hande in the crime drama Yeraltı, but reports say she requested to exit that project after being cast in Güneşin Doğduğu Yer.

    This transition highlights the scope of her big break—moving from a supporting role in one hit series to starring as the lead in one of the most highly anticipated new shows of the season.

    Set in Adana, Güneşin Doğduğu Yer centers on the influential Kozan family, with Özçivit playing Kenan Kozan. The series is expected to blend elements of romance, family conflict, power struggles, and regional traditions set against southern Turkey’s backdrop.

    Additional casting has expanded the ensemble. Sibel Taşçıoğlu has been cast as Celadet, Kenan’s mother, while Hilal Anay will portray Hanzade, a well-educated young woman from a respected family. Initially, Celadet views Hanzade as a suitable match for her son before Leyla enters the picture.

    Filming is scheduled to start in August, primarily in Adana. For Gümülcine, this project marks a significant breakthrough. While she has steadily built her career through television roles, working alongside one of Turkey’s biggest actors elevates her profile and places her at the heart of one of the country’s most anticipated dramas.

    As production preparations reach their final stages, attention continues to focus on the new partnership between Özçivit and Gümülcine. Following her successful screen test, a name change for her character, and her departure from Yeraltı, she is now preparing to introduce audiences to Leyla—potentially her most defining role yet.

    Digital Phablet – Kubilay Aka and Hafsanur Sancaktutan reunite on screen for an ambitious new ATV drama.

    ATV is gearing up for one of the most highly anticipated Turkish dramas of the upcoming season, with “Mercan Köşk” already generating buzz even before production kicks off. This new series has officially brought together Kubilay Aka and Hafsanur Sancaktutan in the leading roles, making it one of the most discussed projects in Turkish entertainment circles this week.

    The initial casting reveal announced Kubilay Aka as the male lead. Soon after, behind-the-scenes reports confirmed that Hafsanur Sancaktutan was cast as the female lead following a competitive audition process. According to Turkish media sources, Sancaktutan secured the role after competing against four other candidates during auditions.

    The announcement drew significant attention because Aka and Sancaktutan are also among Turkey’s most popular young celebrities today. Their relationship has often made headlines in tabloids over the past year.

    Rumors of their romance first surfaced after they were seen together multiple times around Istanbul. Though initially silent, both actors later confirmed their relationship through social media and public appearances, fueling fan interest due to their chemistry and playful interactions online.

    However, their relationship has faced turbulent times. Reports previously suggested that the couple temporarily parted ways due to busy filming schedules and personal disagreements. Fans closely followed months of rumors, cryptic posts, and social media unfollowing. Despite these speculations, they eventually reunited, with Turkish media describing their reconciliation as one of the year’s most talked-about celebrity stories.

    Now, this real-life couple will make their first joint appearance on screen in a leading television role.

    Produced for ATV, “Mercan Köşk” will be filmed in Tarsus, one of Mersin’s most historically rich and visually stunning districts. The series will be directed by renowned filmmaker Yahya Samancı, with the screenplay written by Ahunur Serdaroğlu, in collaboration with Atilla Özel, Nalan Savaş Merter, and Nuriye Bilici.

    The story focuses on Cemre, played by Hafsanur Sancaktutan, who is the daughter of a police officer. Her impulsive marriage turns into a nightmare when her husband disappears right after the wedding. Her desperate quest for answers leads her back to Tarsus, the city linked to her deepest trauma—her father’s murder.

    During her journey, Cemre becomes entangled with the mysterious Mercan Köşk mansion and encounters Aras, portrayed by Kubilay Aka. Aras is depicted as a powerful figure hiding dangerous secrets to safeguard his family. As tensions escalate between two rival families, an intense emotional bond gradually develops between Cemre and Aras.

    Turkish media characterize the series as a dark family drama packed with secrets, revenge, forbidden love, and psychological conflicts. Much of the plot unfolds within the grandeur of Mercan Köşk, where long-buried truths threaten both families.

    This project also marks an important comeback for Kubilay Aka following his recent military service. Fans are already praising his new image and are especially eager to see his on-screen chemistry with Hafsanur Sancaktutan, now that they are officially starring together.

    Meanwhile, Hafsanur Sancaktutan continues to strengthen her position as one of Turkey’s fastest-rising young actresses. Following impressive roles in “Ya Çok Seversen” and “Kıskanmak,” many entertainment experts believe “Mercan Köşk” could represent another significant milestone in her career.

    With a compelling storyline, a celebrity couple at the helm, and the atmospheric scenery of Tarsus, “Mercan Köşk” is rapidly becoming one of the most anticipated Turkish dramas of the season.
