After the cancellation of the Atatürk TV series project, which tells the life of the Great Leader Atatürk, it was decided to be shown on Fox TV as a 3-part movie.
Disney Plus’s refusal to deliver the Atatürk series to its subscribers around the world caused great controversy and reactions. On Fox TV, which is the company of Disney, it was decided to show the project as Atatürk’s movie in 3 parts.
However, the fact that it was not shown all over the world as a series and that the movie could only be watched by viewers in Turkey did not reduce the reactions towards Disney Plus. Criticisms that Aras Bulut İynemli did not react strongly to Disney Plus during this period took place on social media and in the press.
Aras Bulut İynemli, who took the lead role with the release of the trailer of the Atatürk movie, also shared a meaningful post. The famous actor said, “He will live forever,” and gave the message that the ideas of the great leader will always be in mind, with the following words:
“He was born in 1881… He will live forever… The passion of our greatest hero that raised our nation was always with us… We made a movie; We tried to feel and express his ideas and feelings. It was our greatest goal to be worthy of him and his work. Then, now and in the future, always ATATÜRK…”

Criticism came from his followers because he did not react strongly enough to this post of İynemli in the previous process.
Many series fans shared comments stating that what Disney Plus did would not be accepted and that everyone, including the actors, should react very strongly.
