Recently, it was Muneeb Butt who expressed his thoughts in an interview with Rafay Rashdi. He talked about the negative impacts of Ertugrul on the Pakistani industry. He said,
“Everyone after watching Ertugrul is against our industry now, about how why don’t we make such dramas. In my personal opinion, dramas like Ertugrul are rarely produced.

Oh, please shut up and man up to a series that has an immense impact on so many countries in the world. You Pakistani actors fall short of the professionalism and talent of the actors in the series who portrayed a real live hero. And…it was based on Islam and justice…not those mushy, mealy type of shows you all produce that shows only the bashing of wives/daughterinlaws by horrible motherinlaws and husbands…shows without any meanings whatsoever. So wake up and think about producing a show that has historical meaning….there is so much of that in Tyrkey. Pakistan has none whatsoever.
