Pakistan and Turkey are all set to produce a TV series based on the life of Salahuddin Ayyubi, who was a great warrior and founder of the Ayyubid Dynasty. The upcoming TV series will be jointly produced by Pakistan’s Ansari & Shah Films and Emre Konuk, the owner of Turkey’s Akli Films.
Turkey is well known for producing TV series based on the history of Muslim rulers such as Ertugrul Ghazi, which has gained massive popularity in Pakistan over the past year and now both countries will be working together to produce the TV series based on the life of one of the most celebrated Muslim rulers, Salahuddin Ayyubi.
Emre Konuk announced the development regarding the joint venture between Turkey and Pakistan.
A happy news on a blessed Friday night! Contract signed between Akli Films and Ansari & Shah Films about ‘Sultan Selahaddin Ayyubi’. May this international project, which will be prepared with the cooperation of Turkey and Pakistan, be beneficial to our country and our art world.
