* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: A very odd case are Süleyman's children. Pelin Karahan andand Gürbey Ileri could pass for siblings, but look nothing like their other brothers in the show. Engin Öztürk (Selim) and Aras Bulut Iynemli (Bayezit) look similar enough, but then Aras and Tolga Saritaş (Cihangir) are even more alike. Lastly, Mehmet Günsür (Mustafa) is supposedly their half-brother, but doesn't resemble either of them close enough... [[EpilepticTrees But he could pass for Okan Yalabik's son.]]

Kaya (Lokman aga, Süleyman's chamberlain) and Sarp (Atmaca) are twins, but most people wouldn't know this, because they look nothing alike - and their characters barely interact.
