DISCOP Johannesburg Spotlight: Calinos Entertainment

Calinos Entertainment is heading to DISCOP Johannesburg with The Girl Named Feriha, a drama that follows the life of the titular character who, after gaining admission to a private university, pretends she is wealthy as she falls in love with an affluent playboy.

Calinos is also bringing Woman, Forbidden Fruit and Our Story to the market. “All these programs are long-lasting,” says Ebru Mercan, Calinos’s sales executive for Africa. “Our Story has two seasons, and it has 200 TV hours; Woman’s third season is on air now, and the ratings are outstanding as always. Forbidden Fruit’s third season is also on air, and we are very happy with the results.” All three dramas follow the lives of strong women who persevere despite the various obstacles they are forced to overcome.

Mercan adds, “Our aim is to show African audiences the quality of Turkish dramas.”
