ALBAWABA - Samer Ismail responds to buzz about starring in an Arabic remake of hit Turkish series Çukur. This is what he disclosed in his interview with ET Bil Arabi following rumors of an Arabic adaptation of the well-liked Turkish television series "The Pit (Çukur)" and concerns over Samer Ismail's potential role in it. When ET Bil Arabi first questioned Samer about the situation, he said, "By God, there isn't...

In response to a question concerning his thoughts on the original series, he said, "Yes, I love it a lot."

Aras Bulut İynemli Instagram profile In a family drama framework full of action, crime, and gangs, "The Pit"(Çukur) has garnered immense popularity since its debut in 2017 and a devoted following of viewers who have grown attached to its stars and their stories, which center on a dangerous neighborhood ruled by the "Koçovalı" family. Yamaç, the protagonist of the tale, falls in love with a stunning girl and makes plans to wed her. However, his mother's encouragement to return to the area after the murder of his older brother Kahraman completely upends his existence. His involvement in power conflicts and conspiracies complicates the series' conclusion for viewers, who have started calling for a sequel. The honored guest at the Abu Dhabi Book Fair is Samer Ismail. Notably, on the second day of the 34th Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, Samer Ismail was honored as the guest of honor. His presence was noticeable at a symposium titled "Our History on Screen: Between Reality and Vision," which was held in the Bahr Al Thaqafah Foundation Hall. When writer and colleague Ali Al-Dokhi signed "Lover, Even If You Don't Belong" after the symposium, Samer went to the Austin Macauley Publishers booth to see the signing. Reem Milad conducted the conversation prior to the signing. In his statement during the meeting, Samer said, "I am here to support my friend and brother, writer Ali Al-Dokhi, with his new novel... and I am always an unconditional supporter." Regarding Samer, Ali stated, "Samer is a brother and someone I hold in high regard. His unwavering support for young people—particularly those whose tales resonate with him— is what sets him apart. He adored the book when he read it and gave me his full support." In keeping with his ongoing interest in fiction, it's important to note that Samer Ismail previously starred in the lead role in a movie based on His Excellency Advisor Turki Al-Sheikh's book "Cello."
