    Kerem Bürsin Stars in Prime Video’s “Grand Maison Istanbul”

    Digital Phablet – Grand Maison Istanbul features Kerem Bürsin as the lead.

    Turkish actor Kerem Bürsin is gearing up to star in another major digital series as production officially kicks off on “Grand Maison Istanbul,” the Turkish version of the celebrated Japanese drama “Grand Maison Tokyo.” Reports from Turkish entertainment outlets state that this eight-episode series, produced by Dass Yapım, will be exclusively available on Prime Video, bringing Japan’s acclaimed culinary drama to Turkish viewers with a localized storyline and setting.

    Bürsin has already started preparing for his role while also shooting a new commercial campaign for his mobile network sponsor. Once filming for the commercial wraps up, he will dedicate himself fully to the new series, portraying Ateş Leventoğlu, a talented and charming chef passionate about fine cuisine, which drives the narrative.

    The original Japanese series, “Grand Maison Tokyo,” debuted in 2019, starring Takuya Kimura, and received critical acclaim along with commercial success. It tells the story of a skilled chef determined to restore his career after a setback by establishing a prestigious restaurant capable of earning Michelin stars. The Turkish adaptation aims to retain the spirit of the original culinary story while adapting characters, locations, and cultural elements to resonate with Turkish audiences.

    According to media sources, “Grand Maison Istanbul” will comprise eight episodes, with the script developed by Dass Yapım’s in-house writing team. Though based on the original concept, the Turkish version will craft its own unique story centered around local characters and settings.

    A key location for filming is Urla, in İzmir Province, renowned for its vineyards, olive groves, boutique eateries, and its rising fame as a premier gastronomic destination in Turkey. The region offers a picturesque backdrop perfect for a series emphasizing haute cuisine. Its popularity among chefs and food enthusiasts makes Urla an ideal setting for this culinary series.

    Casting is still ongoing for the female lead, Defne, who will play a significant role opposite Bürsin. Turkish media reports state negotiations are ongoing with several actresses, but no official announcement has been made yet. Additionally, the production team has not yet appointed a director, with discussions still in progress before filming commences.

    This project highlights Bürsin’s latest collaboration with a major streaming platform, as he continues to balance work across television, film, and commercials. Over the last decade, Bürsin has become one of Turkey’s most recognized actors globally, with notable works including “Güneşi Beklerken,” “Şeref Meselesi,” “Bu Şehir Arkandan Gelecek,” and the international hit romantic comedy “Sen Çal Kapımı.”

    Furthermore, Turkish media also reported that the filming of “Outside the Line,” an upcoming volleyball-themed film starring Bürsin along with Alina Boz, has been postponed. The delay is expected to give Bürsin time to complete his role in “Grand Maison Istanbul” before moving on to the movie.

    With pre-production underway, “Grand Maison Istanbul” is shaping up to be one of Prime Video Turkey’s most anticipated original series. Combining a proven international format, a rich culinary storyline, and Kerem Bürsin in the lead role, the series is likely to attract considerable attention both within Turkey and internationally when it launches.

    Professor Dr. İnan Kural, the intelligent director of Umutpark Medical Foundation Hospital, awakens after 12 years only to realize he has no memory of that entire period. He finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings, with no recollection of his past, struggling to recognize himself. Tasked with rebuilding his life, he navigates through confusing relationships, disconnected links, and unanswered questions—all in a world that feels entirely foreign.

    The highly anticipated new series, “Doctor: In Another Life,” produced by DASS Yapım, has just released its first trailer. The intense scenes in the preview heighten my curiosity about the show’s atmosphere, and the storyline—centered around the themes of the past and a second chance—has already captured my interest.

    Alongside İbrahim Çelikkol, the cast includes Sıla Türkoğlu, Şebnem Hassanisoughi, Bertan Asllani, and Güven. The series also features Murat Akpınar, Ferit Aktuğ, Eylül Tumbar, Yasemin Yazıcı, Berk Özgür, Esra Akkaya, Merve Bulut, Aysun Demir, Özge Oneill Sarımola, Mert Yavuzcan, and İhsan İlhan. The narrative follows a doctor confronting the reality that he hasn’t become the person he envisioned while looking back on his life. Inspired by true events, this series delves deep into personal identity and redemption.

    As his memory fades, ethics, intuition, and the responsibilities inherent in being human come to the forefront. “Doctor: In Another Life” is poised to hit theaters with a compelling story that prompts reflection on identity, fate, and the possibility of starting anew.

    This series will soon be available on NOW. When memory slips away, it’s morality, instincts, and human duties that guide us. The show promises a powerful story that will make viewers contemplate who they are, their destiny, and the opportunities for renewal.

  • Sıla Türkoğlu’s Character Name Revealed as Filming Starts for Doktor Başka Hayatta

    Sıla Türkoğlu’s Character Name Revealed as Filming Starts for Doktor Başka Hayatta

    Digital Phablet – Filming for “Doktor Başka Hayatta” kicks off amid emerging cast updates and modifications.

    Next week, production begins on the highly anticipated Turkish adaptation of the popular TV series “Doc.” If there are no last-minute changes, the local version is set to broadcast under the title “Doktor Başka Hayatta” (Doctor in Another Life). The project is produced by Dass Yapım and is already shaping up to be one of the most ambitious medical dramas of the upcoming season.

    One of the notable behind-the-scenes alterations involves the character played by Sıla Türkoğlu. Initially announced as Mevsim, her role’s name has been officially changed to Elif just days before filming commences, as the script was finalized.

    The series boasts a talented cast. İbrahim Çelikkol will portray Prof. Dr. İnan Kural, a brilliant and well-respected physician at Terra Hospital. Sıla Türkoğlu stars as Elif, a woman who plays a crucial role in İnan’s emotional life. The cast also includes Şebnem Hassanisoughi (Aylin), Bertan Asllani (Toprak), Ferit Aktuğ (Ekin), Esra Akkaya (Feda), Eylül Tumbar (Zeren), Yasemin Yazıcı (Aslı), Merve Bulut (Nesrin), Berk Özgür (Ali Kocaman), Özge O’Neill Sarımola (Gülten), Aysun Demir (Rüveyda), and Nurhayat Boz (Mukaddes).

    The story centers around Prof. Dr. İnan Kural, widely regarded as one of the top doctors in his specialty. After surviving an armed attack, he awakens from surgery to find that he has completely lost his memories of the past 12 years. The life he carefully built—his career, relationships, and personal history—feels entirely alien to him as he begins to live a life he doesn’t recognize.

    İnan and Elif share a complicated relationship, strained by his memory loss. She was the only woman he truly loved, yet he remembers nothing about her. Meanwhile, he still maintains a strong emotional bond with his ex-wife, adding layers of complexity to his already troubled life.

    İbrahim Çelikkol’s previous roles in series like İffet, Merhamet, Siyah Beyaz Aşk, and Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir have showcased his commanding presence and charm. His ability to convey deep internal conflicts makes him an ideal choice for a character struggling with his identity.

    Sıla Türkoğlu rose to fame with her role in Emanet, and her subsequent performance in Kızılcık Şerbeti solidified her status as a major star among young actors. Her wide emotional range and strong audience connection bring depth to her portrayal of Elif.

    Before its premiere, “Doktor Başka Hayatta” is already generating considerable excitement due to its dramatic premise, emotional intensity, and talented cast.

    Barış Arduç and Hande Erçel Cancel Cannes Trip to Keep “Aşk ve Gözyaşı” On Schedule

    Digital Phablet – Barış Arduç and Hande Erçel skip Cannes for filming duties.

    This year, Barış Arduç and Hande Erçel will not be attending Mipcom. The popular Turkish actors were scheduled to showcase their drama Aşk ve Gözyaşı (Love and Tears) at Mipcom, the world’s largest international TV market in Cannes, France. Unfortunately, they had to cancel last-minute plans due to ongoing shooting commitments.

    The Mipcom event, which kicked off today in Cannes, attracts industry professionals from around the globe to promote new projects and negotiate deals. The Turkish series Aşk ve Gözyaşı, produced by O3 Medya and Dass Yapım, is expected to draw significant attention at the festival.

    Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç, the leads in the ATV romantic series, had originally planned to attend the event and participate in promotional activities. Their on-screen chemistry and the heartfelt storyline have already sparked buzz across Turkey and beyond.

    However, insiders report that both stars had to cancel their trips to focus on filming. Currently, their team is under intense pressure to complete the upcoming episode on schedule. Delays in shooting could result in the new episode missing its broadcast slot this Friday.

    To avoid further complications, Erçel and Arduç will stay on the set in Istanbul all week, continuing filming without pause.

    Recently, significant changes were made to the production process, including a change in directorship and the show's writer. To stay on schedule, episodes three and four were combined, speeding up the filming process but leaving the team without finished episodes. This has made each day of shooting crucial.

    Even with these challenges, Aşk ve Gözyaşı continues to attract significant viewership and positive social media reception. Fans praise the powerful performances of Erçel and Arduç and the depth of their relationship depicted on-screen.

    The absence of the stars at Mipcom was a disappointment to fans worldwide, but their commitment to keeping the series on track demonstrates their dedication.
