A recent flurry of online speculation suggested a potential departure from the hit Kanal D series, Far City, but reports indicate actor Burç Kümbetlioğlu remains with the production.The drama, starring Ozan Akbaba and Sinem Ünsal, has consistently broken viewership records sence its debut.
The controversy began when Kümbetlioğlu, who portrays the character of Boran in Far City, unfollowed the show’s official account, promptly raising eyebrows among fans. According to entertainment news outlet birsen Altuntaş,rumors quickly spread on social media platforms suggesting the actor was planning to leave the series.
However, these claims were swiftly countered. Sources confirmed to Altuntaş that Kümbetlioğlu is continuing his work on the project and has not severed ties with the production.
The timing of the unfollow coincided with the release of a video from the official Far City account depicting a scene where Boran is repeatedly slapped by multiple characters – Kaya, Sadakat, Cihan, and Alya. Kümbetlioğlu unfollowed the account shortly after this video was posted. The video was afterward deleted, further fueling speculation that the actor was unhappy with the storyline or its presentation. The unfollow and deletion sparked immediate rumors that Kümbetlioğlu was dissatisfied with how his character was being portrayed, specifically the violent scene.
“The deletion of the video certainly amplified the perception that Kümbetlioğlu was reacting negatively to the scene,” one analyst noted. While the exact reasons behind the initial unfollow remain unclear, the situation appears to have been resolved, with the actor remaining committed to Far City. The series continues to captivate audiences, and its future trajectory remains bright despite this brief moment of uncertainty.
