With the popularity of Dirilus Ertugrul, we wouldn't be surprised if Pakistan's entertainment industry felt inspired to create something similar.

Perhaps that's why when rumours started floating about that Humayun Saeed is working on a Pakistani adaptation, many weren't surprised. Although judging by the reactions, most weren't pleased either.

But were the rumours true? Team Images got in touch with Humayun Saeed who clarified, "No, we are not making a remake of Ertugrul."

However, the actor did share that he had seen the drama around two years ago and had thought about making a historical drama. With the drama airing on PTV and becoming an instant hit, he became sure and is now working on the serial.

According to Saeed, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar will write the script while he will produce it along with ARY's Salman Iqbal.

As the project is in it's early stage, nothing else has been finalised. However, Humayun hopes this will be Pakistan's grandest drama.

Saeed is a marginal actor and wants to stay in limelight. So, let him remark!

Anything close to Ertugrul would be great.

To be honest, his productions are very low-quality whether that be films or TV series. He should rather train his production house in lighting, camera techniques, cinematography, editing, post, set designing and so on from Turkey or other countries. That would be a big favour to the industry and the country. I don't get it that Pakistani media people just want to earn but not learn or bring their production quality at par with the world. Tell me one Pakistani drama series that has considerably good production quality? Also, there are very few movies that has somewhat good production quality.

Why these actors and writer do not try and create something original. Our culture. Our own culture which is more alive. Heer Ranjha- Sohni Maheenwal -and many other beautiful stories from our iwn soil.why not!!! Why not to have a serial on great poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz? Why not to write a play on life of poetess Perveen Shakir? Why not to write a play about Sadiquin- the greatest khatat of sub continent ? Why not to have serial on honor killing incidents from true life? Why these writers wish to live in past. Why not to look forward and start making our own social and intellectual history?

If he or Adnan Siddiqui does not work in that drama then it is ok. People are going crazy over Turksih drama but they have forgotten that almost 40 years ago Aakhri Chattan and likes were made by PTV with old technology and few resources and those were as good but of course imported ones endorsed by celebrities sell.

By far, one of the Best historical and Biblical series Ever! I hope it continues somehow or a new series takes flight soon. There is such a need for spiritual, wholesome shows like this. Every key character is well captured and developed. Their strength, determination, love of family and tribe are amazing. Really love their unwavering Faith.

The fact that he is continuing to work with Khalil ur Rehman despite his misogynistic and hateful tantrum and words, is enough for me to take a pass on this. Tum Mere Paas drama didn't exactly impress either. We have many talented writers who don't get a chance to shine.

Make movies about Delhi Sultanate and Mughals. Not many people know about Delhi Sultanate and heros like Qutb al-Din Aibak.

Ertugural has got to be by far the best historical series I've seen. I like how there was a lot of philosophy related to Islam's religion, the morals, knowledge and wisdom. It definitely has had a great impact on me about the way of life.
