Where are the stars of "Chuqur" now? New roles of the famous actors

The series "Chuqur" tells the story of the influential Kochovali family, who control the entire Chuqur neighborhood. In the criminal world, one of the most important rules for this prestigious household is not to distribute drugs. However, there are those who do not agree to this order and decide to take over the neighborhood. At this time, the youngest son of the Kochovali family, Yamach, returns from Paris after many years of separation. His lover, Sena, comes with him. But will they be able to be a happy family in Chuqur, which stands on the brink of a criminal war?

The series has already become a true classic of high-quality Turkish cinema. The creators have masterfully combined the drama, melodrama, and crime genres loved by viewers.

Aras Bulut Iynemli portrayed the main character Yamach in the series "Chuqur".

At the time of the series' premiere, the actor was already familiar to Turkish viewers. Before this, he had starred in films such as "As Time Goes By", "Magnificent Century", and "Maral". A few years after the premiere of "Chuqur", the dramatic film "Miracle in Cell No. 7" was released, which became Iynemli's signature work.

In this film, Aras Bulut played the role of Memo, an adult with the mind of a child. He lives with his young daughter Ova and his grandmother Fatma, working as a shepherd. Memo witnesses the death of the daughter of a high-ranking military officer who had mocked Ova. After this, he is sent to prison, where his cellmates beat him for such a brutal crime. However, over time, they realize that Memo had nothing to do with it and that he is an extremely kind and simple person. The judge sentences him to death, and his cellmates decide to help Memo see his daughter. Meanwhile, that military officer is ready for anything to destroy the main character.

Nejip Memili played the role of Jumali, the eldest son of Idris and Sultan.

The actor did not play the main role in the series "Chuqur", and in general, Memili cannot boast of many leading roles. However, with his charisma and versatile, deep acting, he can brightly complement any work.

Nejip's role in "Ashraf and Roya" is also not the main one. He portrayed Gurdal Bozoq, a loyal friend of the main character and a member of the "Orphans" criminal organization. The series tells the story of a young man named Ashraf, whose life has been spent in suffering and fear for many years. He falls in love with a beautiful girl and calls her Roya. However, by a twist of fate, after a terrible event, Ashraf Tek loses his love for many years. Today, he is an influential and respected mafioso, living with the sole hope in his heart of meeting Roya again. However, when Ashraf accidentally meets Nisan, his usual life changes.

Erkan Kolchak Kostendil portrayed Vartolu in the series "Chuqur", the son of Idris Kochovali and Mehriban, who chose the path of revenge and thirst for power in Chuqur.

It is surprising how a young man with such a pleasant, sincere look can play the roles of villains so convincingly. Erkan Kolchak recently played one of such characters in the series "The Heir": his Yahya Kaptan is another vengeful anti-hero, and the series is in many ways similar to "Chuqur". Here, the Karsli family and its elderly leader control the city bus station and the criminal network. Yahya considered it his duty to avenge his father's murder and take control of the bus station.

Riza Kojaoglu played the role of Alicho, an autistic sniper raised by Idris Kochovali.

We will talk about two series featuring this actor — "Karadayi" and "Inside". Although both came out before "Chuqur", they are among Riza's best works. In the series "Karadayi", Kojaoglu played the role of Yasin, a friend of Mahir who is entangled in complex love affairs. The main character is Mahir himself, and just as he is about to get married, his father is unexpectedly accused of murder and sentenced to death. In the series "Inside", Riza transforms into the cold-blooded killer Davut. The series tells the story of two police academy classmates who do not know they are brothers. Their goals at the academy are different: Mert is a product of a street gang, while Sarp is a fierce fighter against crime.

Mustafa Kirantepe played the role of Medet, Vartolu's close friend and his right-hand man.

Unlike his character in "Chuqur", Mustafa portrayed the extremely religious Rusen in the series "Three Pennies". This is also a crime drama, whose main character is a young man named Efe, an uncompromising and stubborn fighter against crime. He tracks a serial killer who kills men and leaves a mark in the shape of three coins on their bodies. The investigation leads him to the neighborhood ruled by the crime boss Kartal. Police are not liked here, but Efe and Kartal are forced to cooperate to find the criminal.

Ercan Kesal played the role of Idris, the founder and leader of the "Chuqur" mafia and Yamach's father.

The actor's filmography is rich with diverse characters. In "Alef", he was cast in the small role of a doctor named Kinyas. The film tells the story of two completely different detectives who are jointly investigating a series of murders. The killer leaves a mark at the crime scene in the shape of an ancient Sufi symbol of belief. Such a crime detective story, imbued with mysticism and even mythology, has become a highly popular and unique genre in the world of Turkish cinema. In "The Heir", Kesal portrayed Zulfikar, the power-loving head of the Karsli clan.

Ugur Yildiran played the role of Kemal, Metin's brother and one of the most loyal and reliable men in "Chuqur".

This handsome actor does not have many roles in his filmography yet, and his only main role was precisely in the series "Chuqur". However, after this crime drama, projects emerged that revealed new facets of Ugur. For example, his role as Kurt in "No Mercy" — a killer and bodyguard for mafia bosses, reliable and a master of his craft. The series tells the story of a young man named Dogan who returns from the army. He finds himself in what seems to be a completely different world, dark and full of despair, and adapts to this environment with considerable confidence. Another character with a mysterious past is the Executioner in the series "El Turco". Ugur appeared in several episodes, leaving a trace of mystery with his participation.
