Social media was abuzz with news that Duzyatan will be visiting Pakistan soon for the inauguration of a mosque at Blue World City.

Duzyatan, who played the lead role in historical TV series Diliris: Ertugrul, had earlier greeted Pakistani fans on Eid. His series has gained mass following in Pakistan and was even endorsed by Prime Minister Imran Khan.

In his video message, Duzyatan said he didn’t have words to return the unbelievable love and appreciation he received from the Pakistani people.

However, Karachi’s Jamiatul Uloom Islamia Allama Muhammad Yousaf Banuri Town, one of the biggest Islamic educational institutions of Pakistan that follows the Deoband school of thought, said watching Ertugrul and other dramas was against Shariah.

Some celebrities, such as Yasir Hussain, weren’t pleased with the show’s success in Pakistan and its stars’ being made ambassadors and spokespersons for Pakistani brands.
