The enigmatic and artistic Engin Altan duzyatan had garnered massive acknowledgement and fan following the previous year, on account of his chartbuster historical drama Dirilis Ertugrul.

Meanwhile, the whole narrative revolved around the adventures and struggles of Ertugrul and his companions, fighting for their empire and the prosperity of Islam in that era. Hence, the five seasons comprised series was an immense success of the then year, with Engin Altan’s fan following scattering all over the globe.
