Turkish ‘Love Is in the Air’ Star Kerem Bürsin on Starting His Career With Roger Corman and Why New Comedy ‘Son of a Rich’ Will ‘Break Some Barriers’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Turkish megastar Kerem Bürsin ('Love Is in the Air') talks working with Roger Corman and his new movie, 'Son of a Rich,' that is being sold at AFM.

Though he was born in Istanbul, he spent his formative years living internationally and attended high school in Texas, where he began acting in theater productions. More recently, Bürsin has starred in Prime Video’s romantic drama “The Blue Cave” — which he also wrote — a Turkish original that dropped on the streamer in October. “Son of Rich,” which is being sold by Turkey’s Kunay Film at AFM, is a bold attempt by Turkish producers to make a Hollywood-style high-concept comedy that can travel, as Bürsin tells Variety below in a rare interview.
