He composed the soundtrack for the movie Araf, and his song "Son Kez" from the album Sakin Olmam Lazım was featured on the movie's soundtrack as well. At the same time, he portrayed the character of "İsfandiyar" in the fantasy drama movie Çocuk in 2008.

In Ramadan, Cepkin recorded the song "Demedim mi?" for TRT, the lyrics of which were written by Pir Sultan Abdal. A music video was later shot for the song.

Lawsuits

On 3 August 2009, in response to the question "How do you find Hayko Cepkin?" in a program on Cine5, Davut Güloğlu said "He looks like a monkey, as if he has come out of a horror movie, it's not clear whether he looks like a cat or a dog, the likes of him are buffoons, if I see something like him at night, I would definitely attack it." After his comments, Cepkin took a case to the court and filed a lawsuit on the grounds of "personal offense" and demanded 2 years in prison as punishment for Davut Güloğlu.

In a press statement sent through his lawyer, Cepkin said that he had filed a lawsuit against Güloğlu by taking the case to the prosecutor. He referred to Güloğlu's comments, pointing out heavy insults, threats and violence against himself in them, all of which were meant to target him in a way that is no accepted in society. The case was made open to the public and press, and the court decided to stop the trial after a while.
