Digital Phablet – Barış Arduç and Hande Erçel skip Cannes for filming duties.
This year, Barış Arduç and Hande Erçel will not be attending Mipcom. The popular Turkish actors were scheduled to showcase their drama Aşk ve Gözyaşı (Love and Tears) at Mipcom, the world’s largest international TV market in Cannes, France. Unfortunately, they had to cancel last-minute plans due to ongoing shooting commitments.
The Mipcom event, which kicked off today in Cannes, attracts industry professionals from around the globe to promote new projects and negotiate deals. The Turkish series Aşk ve Gözyaşı, produced by O3 Medya and Dass Yapım, is expected to draw significant attention at the festival.
Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç, the leads in the ATV romantic series, had originally planned to attend the event and participate in promotional activities. Their on-screen chemistry and the heartfelt storyline have already sparked buzz across Turkey and beyond.
However, insiders report that both stars had to cancel their trips to focus on filming. Currently, their team is under intense pressure to complete the upcoming episode on schedule. Delays in shooting could result in the new episode missing its broadcast slot this Friday.

To avoid further complications, Erçel and Arduç will stay on the set in Istanbul all week, continuing filming without pause.
Recently, significant changes were made to the production process, including a change in directorship and the show’s writer. To stay on schedule, episodes three and four were combined, speeding up the filming process but leaving the team without finished episodes. This has made each day of shooting crucial.
Even with these challenges, Aşk ve Gözyaşı continues to attract significant viewership and positive social media reception. Fans praise the powerful performances of Erçel and Arduç and the depth of their relationship depicted on-screen.
The absence of the stars at Mipcom was a disappointment to fans worldwide, but their commitment to keeping the series on track demonstrates their dedication.
