We had learned that 'Son of the Sun,' a movie shot 17 years ago, would start being staged as a theater play at Zorlu PSM on December 5th. The press conference for the play took place just hours ago. Director Onur Ünlü's attitude towards actor Deniz Celiloğlu sparked controversy on social media.
Now, let's delve into the details together.
Seventeen years ago, the film 'Son of the Sun' graced the screens with the presence of powerhouses such as Haluk Bilginer, Özgü Namal, and Hümeyra, capturing significant attention at that time.
A few months back, we learned that 'Son of the Sun' was set to make its transition to the stage.
The play, adapted from the film of the same name, was announced to feature a cast including names like İbrahim Selim, Deniz Celiloğlu, İlayda Alişan, Beyti Engin, Ali Yoğurtcuoğlu, Zeynep Kankonde, and Efekan Can.
During a meeting where each actor was discussing the game one by one, the turn of events when it came to Deniz Celiloğlu caught the attention of social media users.
As Deniz Celiloğlu was about to speak, director Onur Ünlü abruptly interrupted him and started to speak, telling Celiloğlu 'I will gather, you will speak later' and brought co-director Nagihan Gürkan to the forefront of the microphones. The visible upset of Celiloğlu, left in the background, was noted, and Onur Ünlü's attitude sparked backlash on social media.
