Turkish film star Kerem Bursin to star in adaptation of Russian comedy ‘Peasant’

In Istanbul, they prepare to film a remake of the Russian comedy “Peasant”. The main role of a spoiled heir who is rehabilitated with the help of a clever scam will be played by the star of the Turkish series “Knock on My Door” Kerem Bursin. This is reported by kanobu.ru.

The plot will remain unchanged, but the action will move to modern Istanbul and the Ottoman city of the 16th century. Spectators will enjoy a kaleidoscope of eras, where the luxury of the metropolis coexists with the flavor of the Ottoman Empire.

Famous landmarks from the series “The Magnificent Century” and “Resurrection Ertugrul” will be responsible for the atmosphere. The project will be directed by Onur Unlu, one of the most respected masters of Turkish cinema.

The film will be produced by the Turkish film company Kunay Film and the Russian studio Yellow, Black and White, which was involved in the original films “Peasant” and “Peasant 2”.

We remember that “Farmer” in 2019 became the leader of the box office, collecting 3,082 million rubles. “Peasant 2”, released in January 2024, also broke records, ranking second in box office revenue in the history of Russian cinema (more than 3.5 billion rubles).

The release of the third part of “Pagès” is scheduled for January 23, 2025.
