Reporter:In your opinion, what type of character is Cesur?
Cesur, is a man that experienced complex tragedies in his past
We will surely portray to the viewer the detail of such tragedies in future episodes
The viewer will learn of these important details that will clarify the story of his past but
His past is complicated and deep. He has a lot of past problems linked to his family
that needs to be solved and resolved
He is seeking the truth to find out about his family. He wants to know exactly what
happened to his father, to his mother, and to each member of his family
He was raised to the fact that all of his problems that Tahsin Korludag was
involved in them. His return is mainly to learn the truth, solve them & seek revenge.
His character is extremely calm, cool tempered. Excellent people person, well liked by many
with great communication skills. Highly educated, confident, strong personality,
and brave just like his name. (Cesur in Turkish means brave & strong)
As an actor, I was tempted to play this role due to his cool temper and calmness.
I have been lucky as an actor to have had the chance to play an array of roles & characters.
But as I look at Cesur today, I see how he sees things. He calmly handles each situation,
and calculates every step. He foresees the reaction of each person and knows exactly what will occur.
He pre-plans everything.
He is such an organized person that he has different plan for each and every person.
Prior to his arrival, he studied each person and knew exactly how to deal with them.
What amazes me the most about his character, is that he thoroughly
analyzes everything & everyone. He is precise on how to reach that person and gain their trust.
This is how he is able to form different forms of relationships with either Suhan, Tahsin, Kemal,
any person living at the Korludag ranch, even members of the Korludag family.
I had to form distinct characteristics in order to deal with each character.
I needed to learn a trick in acting to master the skill of dealing with each character differently.
In reality, he is very sensitive. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have left his established life
to return and uncover the unknown
He has deep emotions buried inside of him and his main mission is to unfold them
It was thrilling to portray this character. My excitement, entire cast and crew were just
as thrilled and that is visible from the very first episode
I was extremely thrilled to work with all the cast and crew both on and off camera.
I want to thank all of the cast, the crew who are not seen by the viewers for a job well done
Reporter: Did you face any challenges while preparing for the first scene?
The first scene in itself is a complex scene
Cesur suddenly sees Suhan while she's riding a horse that was out of control
As we saw in the scene, he interceded to help her with his car
This scene took four days to film
Yes it was a challenging scene to film due to its danger, risk, and specific detail
In a matter of one minute, everything had to be precise. The distance of the car to the horse, movement of the wind
How Cesur needed to jump out of a car in motion and land onto a moving horse
All of this and other details as well
Truthfully, I was hesitant to how this scene can be conducted without flaw or problem
But after watching the finished scene, I was thrilled and ecstatic of how it all came together
The subject of the horse and with what happened to me in my previous project Kurt Seyit
I still managed to continue my training regardless of my injury, pain, even
the difficult freezing weather conditions of St. Petersburg
Due to the training I received in Turkey & Russia before filming Kurt Seyit
I know how to ride horses, but I needed to refresh my training again for this role
I also trained on how to properly maneuver and steer the Jeep at high speed myself
Thank God that was done well & without facing any accidents or problems at all
Reporter: What is the best thing you liked about the character Cesur?
To be honest, I always do a comparative analysis of all the previous characters I've played
His character is like no other. Although his character doesn't resemble any of the them
It is however a part of all of the them but doesn't look like them
In reality Kivanc is pride, and "Pride" is the Kivanc that is on the screen acting
in an unfamiliar new role is what honestly excited me the most.
It is very difficult to play such a calm, cool tempered person
It is hard for me to be cold blooded or cool tempered and calm. That isn't me at all
On the contrary, I am short tempered
My anger lasts for a second, and my passion is momentary
However, Cesur has perfectly trained himself in that aspect and has become a pro
All the problems he faced in his lifetime helped him master the skill to remain
calm and thoroughly think
He is a man that is focused on his mission to seek revenge
I found the revenge process to be exciting because he will have many challenges of
having to choose love over revenge. At the same time he will battle
between the two feelings and how his love will grow more and more.
I find those challenges and obstacles fascinating to work with
I am enjoying playing the character more.
The recent episodes have left a delightful taste in my mouth
Reporter: Before the series aired, it was said that Suhan & Cesur are the dream, ideal couple
and they have waited a long time for you to co-star with Tuba Buyukstun. How did it feel to be a couple?
After watching the 1st episode, I saw that Suhan & Cesur got along very well
Just like Korhan and Jaheda and all of the cast that are on the ranch got along
beautifully and fit in to their character as if we we were filming the 10th or 15th episode
I don't know, but when I saw them, I liked them all
In my opinion, the warmth and understanding of the entire cast is essential
This reflects on the performance of the actors and entire project
Overall the entire cast and crew get along greatly and work harmoniously together
From this point, I want to send out a special thanks to the screenwriter, dearest Ece.
She recently returned with this wonderful project and once again I want to thank her
I also want to thank the Production company
Our director Ali Bilgin for giving us and the viewers an outstanding 1st episode
I wan to thank the entire cast & crew for a job well done. God bless your hands
