Shaan is irrked with PTV for buying foreign content and airing ‘Diriliş: Ertuğrul’
Pakistan senior film star Shaan Shahid is irrked with PTV for buying foreign content and airing Turkish series Diriliş: Ertuğrul on the national television.
His Twitter timeline is full of reservations against the national television for not producing anything original in means of content and despite financial losses, PTV recently started to air a foreign bought series that was dubbed in Urdu for local audiences on PM Imran Khan’s special request.
In his recent tweet, while sharing old PTV’s financial loss report, Shaan hit at the PTV for not producing any new content.

Furthermore, he seems not to be pleased with the decision to air a Turkish historic series on the national channel.
