The actress is hiding behind the scenes.
It’s hard for Russian viewers to imagine Makhidevran from “The Magnificent Century” with a different voice. It is not surprising that, as soon as they hear the star’s native voice, it seems dull and boring. In this sense, it is all the more interesting to see who the actress was who voiced the main rival of Hurrem Sultan.
Before Roksolana appeared in the harem, Makhidevran enjoyed special attention from Suleiman. But she did not have time to give birth to a son for her lover first and was not held in high esteem.
The unfortunate Turkish actress Nur Fettahoglu played the role. For domestic viewers, she speaks in the voice of Zhanna Nikonova. The actress has been working at the Hermitage Theater for many years, and she has dubbed almost 300 movie heroines, including Fiona from Shrek.
Nikonova shares similarities with Makhidevran in her dark hair color and eye color. Otherwise, women are very different. The Russian woman admitted that she fell in love with her heroine over the years of voice acting and called her the most interesting of the slaves in the harem.
