BERLIN - Recep İvedik 2 was released yesterday in Turkish and European cinemas. The leading actor of the film, Şahan Gökbakar, said he did not attach importance to positive or negative critics, only that he wanted to entertain people.
At a press conference held in Berlin, Gökbakar said successful works were always criticized. "I always say that our priority is the happiness and laughter of 4.5 million people who bought tickets for the film." He said he believed their team produced a very good film. "In a world where there are lots of problems and trouble, it is a very nice feeling to make people laugh for two hours. The public gives us our award, this is enough for us."
Speaking about the gala ceremony held in Berlin on Feb. 11, Gökbakar said Turks living abroad were longing for their country and that’s why they showed great interest in Turkish films and artists there. "They fight to hold and kiss me. It is very nice feeling to see such a big interest."
Third sequel may come
Upon a question if there would be another sequel to the film, Gökbakar said the first film had encouraged them to make the second sequel, and a third one might come if producers approved it. He said he did not want to make a TV show, because films were remembered even after 50 years but not TV shows.The director of the film, Gökbakar’s brother Togan Gökbakar said they were not eager for an award at national or international festivals. "We have made a very successful film. It breaks box office records. This is more important to us," he said.
The film’s producer Faruk Aksoy said they wanted the film to be released simultaneously in Turkey and Europe. "Because of the fact that the release date of films is Thursday in Germany and Friday in Turkey, the film was released in Europe one day before Turkey."
Turks living in Berlin showed great interest in the "Recep Ivedik 2" gala held at the Karli Movie Theater in Berlin’s Neukölln district.
