Actor and director Shaan Shahid is not happy about the Turkish epic on Ertugrul Gazi being aired on PTV this Ramazan.

On Prime Minister Imran Khan’s request, the Turkish soap chronicling the life of the Muslim warrior, has been airing on PTV every day. The 179-episode drama series—whose original title is Dirilis: Ertugrul—has been dubbed into Urdu.

According to the prime minister, watching the show will make the youth learn about Islamic history and ethics.

In a tweet on Friday, the actor made a sarcastic remark about the show. Sharing a photograph of a protective face mask, the actor said that he bought a Rs160 mask for Rs2,500.

“This is what we do in Ramazan, high prices on life saving items and food prices also touching the skies…after watching our Turkish Islamic history and learning all the good words and deeds this is what we actually practice,” he tweeted.

Earlier, the Lollywood star had tweeted at Senator Faisal Javed, who is the chairperson of the standing committee on broadcasting and heritage, and asked him to focus on Pakistan’s history and heroes rather than the Turks.

While lauding the senator’s announcement, Shaan said that PTV should produce epics like this.

Finding a business model that can support the arts and cultural products should be a national priority. This is also key to our soft power (Bollywood has been a major part in how the world views India, despite all the news of what is happening in India)

K-pop is an example of a relatively recent industry that has totally transformed how people view South Korea.

At the very least, our industry should be producing the cartoons and shows our kids watch, so that we can teach them our culture and morals. If we don’t, we know they will watch whatever children’s programming is coming from abroad, especially India, and that can have long last effects on our culture and society.

No

 

[El Sidd]

Why?

we can use the money better.

this industry cannot help the youth going forward. its a nepotist exploitation industry with more money laundering holes than swiss cheese.

 

[El Sidd]

Industry earns money. Select new actors and old actors like Shaan

what good is this money to anyone these days?

Our Glory is our future not our past.

those who don't get it, we cannot drag them any longer.

Something something soft power is present in the entertainment industry.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA


FOR REAL? Somebody shares all the movies he has done in past and tag him and then ask him, is that what we should be producing?

Lmfaoo

don't really have to crawl through every hole baniya has done.

Mr. Shaun cannot even name one supposed epic hero of the country he wants to play.

saft puwwa is needed through trade and commerce and not through glorifying ancestors

 

[Valar.]

Agreed with the man although he himself isn't any better as he can't act for shit and acted in probably over 100 useless movies already.

The thing is, Pakistanis are an incompetent lot through and through in almost every walk of life and entertainment industry is not any different.

From stupid name like lollywood to garbage acting, garbage direction, garbage production, garbage story, garbage promotion to garbage viewers who like nothing but garbage, alot of garbage, doses upon doses of garbage over and over again first from local sources and then from neighbouring garbage sources.

Then comes garbage system of jealousy and nepotism. Good shareef actors are systematically sidelined and below mediocre shitty actors are promoted. And then their relatives are promoted who can't act for shit. Stories remain same, actors remain same, just name of the drama/movie changes.

As for kids cartoons, lol, Pakistanis can't even dub cartoons in Urdu let alone make them.

Like I said, through and through incompetent nation.

“jo log apni tareekh ko masakah karte hain tareekh unhe masakah kar dety hai”

and produce about the judgement day? Like there was one Messiah few months back?

 

[El Sidd]

You cannot make films about future. Make good dramas and films about past and present.

90 percent of the entertainment media is future oriented.

How old is this chap? There should be a rule to not let 50 plus people use any social media and be in any way involved in the affairs of the country.

Lol... there are avid movie watchers who haven't seen 500 movies in their entire life and here this garbage actor has already acted in 500 movies. That should tell you something about his acting and garbage quality movies.
