The series, which started shooting in August, is expected to be screened at the end of September. Erkan Petekkaya prepared for the role by observing the people who have the discomfort of Kadir, whom he played in the series.
The actor explained what he experienced during the preparation period for the series and what he did for his role with the following words…
“First of all, I talked to the specialist doctors of the subject. After I learned about such mental disorders, I attended the classes of a few of my friends and had conversations. I tried to understand, to feel their relatives. Thanks to Kadir, I had the opportunity to meet angels. A big thank you to all of them here.”
In addition, the actor, who got information about their lives and made observations by meeting with the patients and their relatives who had ailments like Kadir in the series, went through a training process by taking notes for his role.
