However, Çağlar Çorumlu’s commercial with Zeki Müren divided the social media into two this time. Zeki Müren fans, who claimed that the memory of the artist was insulted, wanted the ad to be taken off the air as soon as possible, while some of the social media users who commented under the hashtag Çağlar Çorumlu, which is the ‘trend topic’ on Twitter, stated that they found the ad successful.
Zeki Müren once said the following when comedians imitated him: “Why should I be bothered? Imitations keep the original alive.” Nilgün Belgün and Zafer Algöz reminded these words of Art Güneşi and supported Çağlar Çorumlu. Nilgün Belgün said, “I don’t know if the Zeki Müren advertisement was disrespectful to him. I’m happy to remind him again. Congratulations to Çağlar Çorumlu, he portrayed it very well. I believe that the imitations keep the originals alive,” he said.
Zafer Algöz also said that the memory of Sanat Güneşi was kept alive and said, “If Zeki Müren had lived, he would have said, ‘Congratulations, sir’. He’d kissed his forehead. Because he also acted in commercials,” he said.
