Filming of Kanal 7's new series Asiye begins with prayers

Kanal 7 has gone on set for its new series Asiye, which it has been preparing for months. After table reads were completed and technical equipment was checked, a sacrifice was made amid takbirs on the first shooting day, and the director's call officially started filming.

Kanal 7 Media Group Deputy Chairman and Kino Film Board Chairman Mustafa Çelik visited the set on the first day and congratulated the cast and crew.

"An ancient story"

Çelik said the series is the story of Moses and Pharaoh carried over into today's world. Noting that the struggle between good and evil will be reflected on screen, he said the idea and general story originated with Mehmet Uyar, and that Hüseyin Bey put great effort into bringing the project to life.

Çelik said series produced by Kanal 7 Media Group have been shown, are being shown, or will be shown on television in 70 countries. He noted that Asiye is the last in the group's series so far, that the earlier series Gelin also achieved very successful ratings, and that they believe Asiye will be successful too.

Cast

Esengül Aypek plays Asiye and said they are happy and excited. Ferhat Işıktaş, who plays the male lead, stressed that there is a family atmosphere on set.

Aile ortamı var setimizde. (There is a family atmosphere on our set.)
