ALBAWABA - Ozan Akbaba and Sinem Ünsal reunite for a new Go Turkey film celebrating Istanbul’s beauty.

Ozan Akbaba and Sinem Ünsal, two well-known Turkish actors, are working together again, but this time it's not for a TV show. The two stars work together on the popular show "Uzak Şehir" Distant City, and they will be back together for the upcoming Go Turkey promotional film. They will join some of Turkey's biggest stars who have been in past campaigns.

Behind-the-scenes reports indicate that the new Go Turkey movie will showcase the beauty of Istanbul and its significance as a global center of art and culture. The campaign is part of Turkey's ongoing effort to get more tourists by telling stories through movies that show off the country's history, buildings, and culture.

The movie will be directed by Hilal Saral, who is one of Turkey's most famous filmmakers and has won awards for her work in both movies and TV shows. The book was written by the renowned writer Kemal Hamamcıoğlu, who is known for writing deeply emotional and poetic stories. Ay Yapım, a top production company that has made many great shows worldwide, will make the project.

In November, filming will start in Istanbul. Many people say that the city is one of the most film-worthy places in the world, and it will be very important to the story. The movie is based on the idea that Istanbul is one of the world's biggest "television sets"—a place where stories from all times and cultures come to life.

Ozan Akbaba and Sinem Ünsal are both known for having outstanding chemistry on screen and giving gripping performances. They are expected to bring warmth and realism to the project. Fans who liked how they worked together in Uzak Şehir are already very excited about their return.

Stars like Kaan Urgancıoğlu, Meryem Uzerli, Engin Akyürek, and Afra Saraçoğlu have been in the Go Turkey campaign in the past. Now that Akbaba and Ünsal are on the list, people are really looking forward to seeing another beautiful and emotional movie that honors Turkey's film and culture history.
