The Poplar Winds series marked a period. All the actors who took part in the series became famous and got the leading roles in the following years. The series, which started in 2007 and continued until 2011, was broadcast as a total of 170 episodes.
Pelin Karahan, Dağhan Külgeç, İbrahim Kendirci, Aslı Enver, Ceren Moray and Sarp Apak starred in the series. Famous names met again years later in Pihani’s song “Back to the World”. The clip, prepared with the images taken by the actors from their homes due to the coronavirus pandemic, attracted great attention on social media.
However, there was a name that was not included in this clip. Dağhan Külgeç, written in mind as Efe Kaygsız, left his friends alone in this clip. Dağhan Külegeç fans were very upset that he was not involved in such a souvenir project that was made years later.
The famous actor who participated in a live broadcast on Instagram explained that he was sad when asked why he was not included in the clip.
Reminding that the idea of this clip belongs to Jale İncekol, one of the directors of the Poplar Winds series, Dağhan Külgeç had a discussion with the director on the set of the series. In the 2009 incident, allegations were made that the famous actor threw a chair at the director and left the set.
Dağhan Külgeç also reminded this incident and said:
“The situation was complicated for me. We had news with the director, but it didn’t happen. Something happened, but nobody physically did anything to anyone. It was a very difficult time for me.
I had some difficulties. When Jale İncekol contacted me for the clip, there was a communication between us. I have a share mostly in this communication. Something happened both in the past and in the making of this video.
I won’t go deep, but despite everything, I had to be in the clip. My fault. I apologize to all lovers. My thoughtlessness, a little laziness, a little old, a bit of copyright stuff. I apologize to everyone again.
The business may belong to companies, but the sense of the series belongs to people watching. I have also shown this feeling disloyal. I do not regret anything except the last clip. I will be in every clip in the next pandemic, promise. ”
The clip gained almost 5 million views on youtube only. Images with Poplar Winds series actors, set team and Pinhani; It was shot in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Denizli, Antalya, Datça, Foça, Bodrum and Toronta. Here is the clip taken in May of 2020:
