The premiere brought together the movie’s director, Akay, cast members Gülse Birsel, Erkan Can, Müjdat Gezen, Öner Erkan, Aral Seskır and several members of the crew with cinema lovers at the Korupark Cinetech movie theater. The premiere was attended by a large audience, who applauded the film enthusiastically.

“This movie was miraculous for me. We wanted to make something different and we wanted to show this movie to an audience for the first time in a place other than İstanbul,” Akay said before the premiere.

Noting that they had fun during the making of the movie, actress Birsel said: “The three weeks were so fun. The cast and crew were in harmony and the director was not tense, no matter what happened on the set. I already loved the play version [of Hürmüz’s Seven Husbands]. It was a nice experience.”

Erkan Can, an actor in the movie who was born in Bursa, said the movie’s script was already quite old but it would retain its popularity even after 100 years.

“Hürmüz’s Seven Husbands,” featuring prominent Turkish actors including Nurgül Yeşilçay (as Hürmüz), Haluk Bilginer, Mehmet Ali Alabora and Cengiz Küçükayvaz, will open in Turkish theaters today. The movie tells the story of Hürmüz, who marries six men illegally and then falls in love with a doctor.
