Miray Yapım, which has brought a fresh breath to Turkish television with its historical productions, welcomed two prominent figures of Turkish sport on the set of its hit series “Mehmed: Sultan of Conquests.” World and European champion national wrestlers Taha Akgül and Rıza Kayaalp joined the shoot as guests, taking part in the conquest sequences that produced unforgettable moments.
During filming in the series’ striking production world, the conquest scene featuring the athletes brought surprise-filled moments for the crew as well. As the script called for, the massive fortress gate rammed with a battering ram was unexpectedly torn from its place under the strength of the two national athletes, resulting in extremely impressive and realistic footage. The incident led to changes in the crew’s planning while further heightening the scene’s impact.
Bringing one of the most important turning points in Turkish history to the screen, “Mehmed: Sultan of Conquests” continues to draw great interest from audiences. The project, brought to life by Miray Yapım, blends historical narrative with visual richness while bringing together, under one roof, names who successfully represent Türkiye in different fields.
The national athletes’ set visit was remembered as a meaningful event where historical heritage met sporting success, and the resulting footage once again drew attention to the series’ magnificent atmosphere and production power. As Miray Yapım continues to produce projects that resonate on both national and international scales, “Mehmed: Sultan of Conquests” continues to carry its viewers into the depths of history with every episode.
