The state broadcaster further explained why there’s been a delay. The delay so far has been due to trying to ensure quality voice-overs.

PTV did not want to lose the magic of the world-famous Turkish period drama Diriliş: Ertuğrul to ‘flat voice-overs’.

PTV is currently working on the best dubbing options for ‘Ertugrul’ as the historic & legendary drama serial requires a very meticulous working on dubbing so that its real essence is not lost in flat voice overs. @TurkeyUrdu pic.twitter.com/2ClrnIYh9f

According to the voice over artist, six episodes of the drama serial were dubbed in PTV Headquarters. After that dubbing was put on hold.

She suggested that perhaps the private channel whose drama serials are aired on PTV will be given the opportunity to dub the drama serial.

ہم سے جو سوال آجکل سب سے زیادہ پوچھا جاتا ہے وہ یہ ہے کہ ارتغرل کی ڈبنگ کب تک مکمل ہو گی اور ڈرامہ کب آن ائیر ہو گا ؟
امید ہے آپ کو سوالات کا جواب آپ کو ویڈیو میں مل جاۓ گا #ertugrul #ertugral_in_urdu pic.twitter.com/7jKc47sjbh

Even now she asserts that the drama will not be broadcast any time soon, or at all in 2020. Then again, she might not be a part of the dubbing team anymore based on PTV’s statement that they are assembling a voice cast.

جن لوگوں کو لگتا ہے پی ٹی وی خود یہ ڈرامہ اُردو میں ڈب کر کہ سن دو ہزار بیس میں چلاۓ گا وہ سب اپنے اپنے نام لکھوا دیں اگر چل گیا تو گرینڈ دعوت کروں گی سب کی https://t.co/eryYBokzpn
