Turkey, Pakistan to co-produce series on revered Muslim general Saladin

[StormBreaker]

If European type Turks can act in this

Than why can't Pakistanis act and portray a middle eastern character?

Racial difference (major).

Imagine A Tamil playing the role of Alexander

Wth

So we can't find anyone in Pakistan showbiz industry that look like Saladin a middle eastern Hero...

No it is not, u r ignoring the fact a huge mumber of descendants of turks, mongols, persians and Arabs live in Pakistan. My own family is descended from Ali(RA). Pakistan is an influx of bloodlines from all the right places.

You don't even have to find bloodlines or what not

A Local man named Cheema can play the role of a middle eastern character

What are u smoking seriously, if u r ugly dont project that on to Pakistani’s, a huge majority of Pakistanis look much better than Arabs in general if u discount the Karachi MQM bhaiya types who actually came from India.

I wouldn't say "much better" that's a bit of an exaggeration, but certainly don't agree with the fact that Pakistanis can't play middle eastern characters

I wonder if they will present him as Kurdish or go for Seljuk or settle for Arab.

He was Kurdish arab

People who think this is some academic exercise need to have their brains scanned.

This new consumerism in distortion of history is quite appalling.

none of ur concern. Salahuddin is loved by all Muslims and liked by crusaders as well

Turkey and Pakistan have announced plans to co-produce a television series on the life of Salahuddin al-Ayyubi, a revered Muslim general popularly known in the West as Saladin.

Having welcomed the project offer from Pakistan's Ansari & Shah Films, producer Emre Konuk, owner of Turkey's Akli Films, announced on Saturday that they have reached an agreement.

"A happy news on a blessed Friday night! Contract signed between Akli Films and Ansari & Shah Films about 'Sultan Selahaddin Ayyubi'," Konuk tweeted.

He wished that the international, joint project is beneficial "to our country and our art world."

Series will be shot in Pakistan

The series, featuring actors from Turkey and Pakistan, will be shot in Turkey and is planned to have three seasons.

Konuk said he was happy to realise the project, despite being aware of the difficulty in portraying "this great person who left his mark in history and all over the world."


Saladin defeated the crusaders and recaptured Jerusalem in 1187.

historically, Sultan Saladin was a man of a short height with a medium build but a brilliant mind and piercing eyes. I think that the Turkish actor Cavit Cetin Guner aka Dogan Alp perfectly fits that description and is chosen for the role of Sultan Saladin.

It will be a good effort, we need more like this, so far we have only one from Arab world " Omar Series ", Amazing series to watch, hopefully they make more like Omar and this upcoming movie/series. Thank God they pick a decent Actor Ijaz Aslam, he is a very humble man and a good actor.

 

[GumNaam]

It is written by Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar. He in an interview few months ago he will make an historic series like Ertugrul

OH GOD NO!!!

abay is kay tau fazool kay ronay dhonay valay dialogue hi khatam nhi hon gey, salaybi is kay lambay lambay dialogues hi sun kar bhaag jayein gey!!!

Kurdish.
Hell will break loose in kurdland if shown otherwise.

But pakistanis dont mind whatever he is called . Pakistanis dont care about the geography and ethnicity of a muslim warrior. True ummatis.

 

[Jazzbot]

I wish to see a series on Khalid Bin Waleed (r.a).

 

[Foinikas]

So Turks want Pakistanis to help them make a series about a Kurd who commanded Arabs.

Yes, for some reason, all descendends of the Prophet's (SAW) family moved to South Asia and none live in the Arab world anymore.

That was so well made.
