Bergen, starring Farah Zeynep Abdullah, was watched by 2 million 650 thousand people in 2 weeks. Farah Zeynep Abdullah is receiving rave reviews for her success in portraying the role of Bergen. When the Bergen movie was first brought to the agenda, Serenay Sarıkaya was mentioned for the role of Bergen.
Serenay Sarıkaya, who made great preparations for the film, took singing lessons, improved herself, listened to arabesque even while driving in her car, and did many special works on Bergen’s life, said goodbye to the project when the producer changed after the delays.
In her social media post at that time, the actress also stated that she had been preparing for the project for 2.5 years and that she was very excited. Serenay Sarıkaya had announced that she would not be able to take part in the Bergen movie, as the new shooting schedule, which came suddenly after the pandemic and postponed shootings for various reasons, did not comply with her plan.
So, did Serenay Sarıkaya regret saying goodbye to the project after the great success of the Bergen movie? Hürriyet Newspaper writer Orkun Ün wrote an article stating that Serenay Sarıkaya could be the victim of a manager and that she regrets it.
Orkun Ün made the following statements in his article; “Both the success of the audience in a short time and the fact that the film is liked by almost everyone is bothering only one person these days… That’s Serenay Sarıkaya. While the film was still in the project phase, many people were mentioned for the role of Bergen. Serenay Sarıkaya was the name that was talked about the most and closest to the role…
For some reason, Serenay gave up on the project when she was saying, oh well, it will happen. She is now regretful. Farah Zeynep Abdullah has done a very important job in her career and earned a lot of money as a co-producer of the film. So why didn’t Serenay accept the “Bergen” movie? I wonder if she fell victim to the ‘manager who knows too much’?
This will not work… It will drag your career down… You will be dragged into political discussions… Did they tempt Serenay by saying that there is already “Alice the Musical”, you can’t spare time for the movie with such intensity? Don’t say it’s impossible… We’ve seen many examples. Some managers act as if they are the celebrity themselves, as if they are going to play the lead role, as if the time, the time, the career belong to them. You know, they say ‘more royalist than king’… That’s right. That’s why one can’t help but ask… Why?”
