Bir Zamanlar Çukurova (Once Upon a Time Çukurova) series lasted for 4 seasons. Only Hilal Altınbilek, one of the leading actors, remained in the project from the beginning to the end. The first leading actor to leave was Vahide Perçin, and right after Uğur Güneş said goodbye to the series.
The reason for the separation of the actor was shown to be restless and unhappy on the set. There were allegations of love between Hilal Altınbilek and Uğur Güneş. Later, the allegations that Altınbilek and Kerem Alışık were together were also reflected in the press. After all this process, Uğur Güneş left the project and took a sigh of relief.
Uğur Güneş, who remained in the series for a total of 79 episodes from 2018 to 2021, showed a very successful acting. Uğur Güneş, who left the project voluntarily when the series was most successful with its impressive story and strong ratings, continues to receive awards thanks to this series even after years.
Uğur Güneş, who managed to impress not only the audience in Turkey but also the audience in many countries where the series was broadcast, with the character of Yılmaz in the TV series Bir Zamanlar Çukurova, had a very important leap forward in his career.
Uğur Güneş was given the “Best International Drama Actor Award” for his magnificent performance in the series at the Ariano International Festival held in Italy.
In Italy, where Hilal Altınbilek and Kerem Alışık had visited before and received great attention, this time the applause echoed for Uğur Güneş. Italian fans showed great interest in the famous actor who attended the ceremony.
While receiving the award, Uğur Güneş said, “Thank you very much to everyone. Italy has become like my homeland for me. I love you,” he said.
With the wild applause of the Italian fans, Uğur Güneş’s Bir Zamanlar Çukurova series brought an important success once again.
