The star of hits like Tuzak and Hercai, and the actress known for major series like Kara Para Aşk, are the leads in a new movie titled Mardinin En Güzel Kızı.

Breaking news! Two of the most sought-after actors in Turkish showbiz are going to work together for the first time. We’re talking about none other than Akin Akinözü and Tuba Büyüküstün, two beloved and admired stars. The news broke a couple of days ago, and as expected, social media went wild. Fans of both actors are eager to see them collaborate.

The two will share the screen in a new movie titled Mardinin En Güzel Kızı, set in Mardin. It tells the story of a couple trapped in a toxic relationship. The film, which has already piqued the interest of both audiences and critics, is expected to start filming at the end of this year and will likely be presented at major international film festivals next season. This project comes for Akin Akinözü just weeks after the loss of his mother. Without a doubt, work will be the best way for him to cope with such tough times.

Akin Akinözü's latest work was the series Yaban Çiçekleri. In it, he plays Kiliç Tütüncü, a handsome, fun, and dynamic man. He’s happy in his hometown, coming from a traditional family deeply rooted in the area. He’s honest, trustworthy, and has a strong character. He returns to his hometown because life in Istanbul, where he moved to study, doesn’t align with his true self.

On the other hand, Tuba Büyüküstün has become one of Netflix's new stars with Another Self, a drama series that intertwines the destinies of three inseparable friends on a transformative journey. Directed by Burcu Alptekin and created by Nuran Evren Sit, the story introduces us to Ada, Sevgi, and Leyla, college roommates whose bond has grown stronger over the years. Despite their different lives—Ada, a renowned surgeon; Sevgi, an ambitious lawyer; and Leyla, who has found happiness within her family—their friendship remains a constant and unbreakable pillar. This show has been renewed for a third season on the streaming platform
