The ongoing drug investigation on the set of the series 'Sea of Fire', shot for TRT Natural, has become one of the most talked-about topics in the news. After a narcotics raid was conducted on the set located at the Beykoz Shoe Factory, legal proceedings were initiated against the leading actor, Erdem Kaynarca. Following these developments, all eyes turned to both the actor and the production company. There was also curiosity about how the shooting on set would continue. A short time later, an official statement was released by the production company.Source: Birsen Altuntaş

The long-discussed actor change in the series, which ATV is preparing to bring to the screens in the new season and the shooting of which will take place in Adana, has been a hot topic. The departure of Uğur Güneş, who was mentioned for the leading role, and his replacement by Burak Özçivit, raised eyebrows. Following Güneş's resentful statement, the rumors circulating behind the scenes began to clarify. According to the claim, the party that wanted Burak Özçivit to be included in the project was not the production company, but directly the ATV management. As per Mehmet Üstündağ's claim, Burak Özçivit wanted to be the lead actor in the series and had discussions with ATV management.SOURCE: Mehmet Üstündağ Let's Talk/ TV8

Ugur Gunes, who was initially slated to star in the upcoming Adana-based series 'Where the Sun Rises,' surprisingly left the project before filming began. His abrupt departure sent shockwaves through the industry, and within a few hours, it was announced that Burak Ozçivit would be stepping into the lead role. Following the news that Ozçivit had taken over his role in the new series, Gunes made a series of pointed posts on his social media accounts, reigniting discussions about the industry.SOURCE: Birsen Altuntas
