Sultana

Sultana is a drama set in Istanbul's only strip club, focusing on the dynamics of power, rivalry, and female solidarity. The story follows Meral, the longtime leader of the club, who mentors a skilled dancer from Belarus named Anna. Their relationship shifts when Meral recognizes that she has fostered a competitor capable of taking her position, leading to a harsh struggle for control. The narrative portrays these women as fighters who find security in each other rather than in traditional romantic ideals.

The film was directed by Ali Kemal Güven and written by Erdi Işık. It features a cast led by Tuba Büyüküstün in the role of Meral and Derya Pınar Ak as Anna, with supporting performances by Seray Kaya, Begüm Akkaya, Rojbin Erden, and Şirin Saldamlı. Produced by Rodi Kayım through the production companies Rodi Medya and Saros Film, this Turkish production has a runtime of 120 minutes. It was released on April 17, 2026.
