Kuruluş Osman, the ambitious production of ATV, continues to be at the top of the ratings and social media with every episode. The series, which did not fall on the agenda, came to the agenda last month with the protagonist Burak Özçivit and the set workers in court.
Three set employees, who claimed that Burak Özçivit had spoken insulting and swearing words to them, filed a criminal complaint against Özçivit.
Burak Özçivit, who was prosecuted for a sentence of up to 4 years and 1 month in prison for allegedly swearing at the set staff during the shooting of the TV series, appeared before the judge. Approving the tension on the set, the actor denied his allegations and said, “There was no insult. He drew attention with his statement that no precautions were taken in a scene with a sword on the set.
Burak Özçivit stated that he fell off the horse due to the precautions that were not taken 3 days in a row during the shooting, that he had an argument with the set manager on the 4th day during the shootings and that he did not make any insults.
In Özçivit’s defense; “I also accept voluntary work in public service,” he said. Burak Özçivit claimed that his work was not only in theory, but that there were some differences in the field regarding the nature of acting, “We were shooting again that day, it was a tent scene. We were shooting a dangerous scene, it was a shoot about swords. Swords were swinging at us and we were outside.
As part of the job, precautions are taken in such dangerous scenes, when the shooting started, I asked the friends who were there for help, “Can they come by themselves?” Because I have a great responsibility because I am the lead role. If something happens to me, we cannot continue the business,” he said.
Announcing its interim decision, the court decided to hear the witnesses and to exclude the accused Burak Özçivit from the hearings. The hearing was adjourned.
