The series Dönence, in which Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ will star, has made headlines due to a casting crisis even before its broadcast. In the project, which has been searching for a female lead for about three months, no agreement has been reached with any candidate despite the discussions held.
The series prepared by Özdağ Film initially reached an agreement with Hilal Saral for the direction, but later the project was taken over by Şenol Sönmez. It was learned that Pınar Deniz was initially considered for the female lead, but she did not join the project as she preferred to be part of Nuri Bilge Ceylan's new film. Subsequently, discussions with Burcu Biricik also did not yield results.
It is stated that the production team continues to search for a female lead, and the shooting schedule will be finalized after the partner is confirmed.
