Moreover, the minister confirmed, “PTV Sports will also become a high definition channel this year,”. He went on to dub the revival of film and drama a “priority” and promised loans for young filmmakers.

Assuring that preparations were underway, he disclosed that the drama will be made in collaboration with Uzbekistan.

Moreover, Turkey and Pakistan are also set to co-produce a television series on the life of Salahuddin al-Ayyubi, a revered Muslim general popularly known in the West as Saladin.  

Featuring actors from Turkey and Pakistan, the series will be shot in Turkey and is planned to have three seasons.
