Kanal D’s much anticipated new project for the
new season, Vatan Haini (‘Traitor’), starring Halit Ergenç finally has a female
lead!
The series continued their search for the cast
list and Taylan Brothers’ selection for the character Azize became none other
than Bergüzar Korel.
Esteemed actress will play the beautiful Balkan
bride Azize, wife of Lieutenant Cevdet, played by Halit Ergenç. Vatan Haini
will air this upcoming season on Kanal D.
Country or family?
Cevdet is a lieutenant towards the end of the
Balkan war. He is a brave soldier for his country, a loving father to his
children, a good son to his mother and a devoted husband to his wife Azize.
To him, “your life or your country?” comes as an
easy question. Yet, his test will be “Your country or your family?” Azize, on
the other hand, will be tested on her love for her country as opposed to her
love for her husband.
Directed by Taylan Brothers and produced by
Nermin Eroğlu with O3 Medya, Vatan Haini tells the story of a family trying to
reunite after breaking apart in the middle of a great war. It is the story of a
love so enchanted, passionate and unforgettable; trying to stay alive in the
shadows of the war.
Written by Necati Şahin and Nuran Evren Şit,
the series will start shooting in August.
