Filming for "Love Likes Coincidences," known as "Ask Tesadufleri Sever 3" in Turkish, starring Mehmet Gunsur and Devrim Ozkan, has wrapped up in Istanbul after a roughly monthlong production across Istanbul, Ankara and Iznik, with the film set to arrive in cinemas on Nov. 20.
Co-produced by Bocek Film and Benesta, the third installment brings Gunsur back as Ozgur, the character he played in the first "Ask Tesadufleri Sever" film, which was released in 2011.
Ozkan joins him in the new story as Mavi, with the film once again building its narrative around fate and coincidence through the intersecting lives of the two characters.
