Humayun Saeed thinks that he or any producer in Pakistan can make a historic show like Turkish drama serial ‘Drilis: Ertugrul’ but for that government should come up with massive financial support.
Speaking to Samaa Tv, Humayun said the Turkish government’s support was key factor behind Drilis: Ertugrul’s success. “I could produce it but the problem is that shows [like Erturgrul] require massive financial investments from government,” said Humayun.
“Ertugrul was made with the financial support of the Turkish government. In Pakistan, I or any capable producer can make such a drama serial but for that, our government needs to support us financially,” he maintained.
