Dirilis: Ertugrul, comprising 179 episodes, was dubbed in Urdu and aired on PTV last year on the instructions of Prime Minister Imran Khan. The series is based on Ertugrul, father of Osman I, who founded the Ottoman Empire. It instantly became a massive hit in Pakistan, crossing millions of views on YouTube.
As for Kuruluş: Osman, which started airing in Pakistan during Ramazan this year, is about to hit the TV screens again since its new episodes have been announced by Senator Faisal Javed.
Dirilis: Ertugrul’s lead actors, Engin Altin and Esra Bilgiç, have visited Pakistan previously. Esra was also the brand ambassador for Peshawar Zalmi in the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League.
