Can Yaman Slams Erkenci Kuş Producer Faruk Turgut With Scathing Remarks

Veteran producer Faruk Turgut's comments about Can Yaman during an interview with İzzet Çapa have infuriated the actor. Yaman fired back at Turgut with an absolutely scathing statement.

Gold Film boss Faruk Turgut’s interview with İzzet Çapa continues to spark controversy. When Çapa asked, “Would you shoot another series with Can Yaman?” Turgut simply replied, “No.” He went on to explain that he had gone through a very difficult period in the past due to the statements and behavior of the actor, who is now continuing his career abroad. These words from the veteran producer infuriated Can Yaman. Yaman released a lengthy statement, completely blasting Faruk Turgut:

“Your Brain Death Has Occurred”

“Oh, poor Faruk Turgut. If I had known, I would have sent flowers. Your brain death has occurred. May God have mercy on you. Apparently, he vetoed me, pulled the plug on me… El Turco supposedly failed, and so on. It has just been sold to America, and it became the most-watched series on the elite platform it was sold to in Spain, and so forth.

Just because you lost me to Ay Yapım, you even asked Disney for 100,000 euros. You made people believe that lie, as if we had some kind of agreement. Even there, you tried to stop them from working with me. Sandokan is taking the whole world by storm; there is hardly an award it hasn’t won in Italy. Anyway… I am so happy with where I am in my career that whatever harm you tried to do, I’m glad you did it.

“Thanks to Us, You Were Saved From Bankruptcy”

Erkenci Kuş was sold to more than a hundred countries, and thanks to us, you were saved from bankruptcy… And on top of that, you stabbed us in the back by not paying our shares from international sales, using every trick in the book. No hard feelings.

At the level I have reached abroad, your budget is no longer enough to pay my fee. The vision of the projects you make would not satisfy me either. You know this, and you're seething. Hack of a producer.

For years, you blocked other producers from bringing me work. Then, when I went abroad and you saw that I didn’t need anyone, and when you heard that much better producers than you were interested in me, you became even more bitter and turned hostile. What a wonderful world.

May God protect all actors from producers like you! Visionless, rude… Keep tormenting new, no-name leading-role victims with your cheap series on Turkish television. Don’t try to gain attention by putting my name in your mouth.

Now that I have answered you, people will talk about you and take you seriously. This is my final favor to you.”
