The fever of “Ghazi: Ertugrul” is running high as Pakistan releases the trailer for its very first Ertugrul inspired drama serial “Raj Rani”.
The famous Sindhi Channel “KTN” is coming up with their new drama serial ‘Raj Rani’, based on local history, and people called it a copy Drilis: Ertugrul.
The series has been heavily influenced by the Turkish historic Epic as it is based on the centuries old chronicles of the sub-continent. The trailer shows heavy sword fighting, armor plates and a backdrop that features Mughal style battle fort.
The 30-second teaser has not revealed much but a scene on the battle field and what is interesting to see is that the battle also features female warriors, which is a rare sight to witness on Pakistani television screens.

It is a matter of happiness that Sindhis are making such dramas because the terrorists who are always shown on TV are terrorists in real Life Not Sindhis are peace loving and hospitable.
Proud be a Sindhi🍁
