Selahaddin Eyyubi

In the past six years, the Korean wave took India by storm as K-dramas became wildly popular. Something tells us another wave is on the horizon. In 2023, Turkish dramas—known as dizi—saw a rapid growth in viewership in India. It’s not surprising then that many Turkish shows are set to stream in the country with Hindi dubs. Following Dirilis: Ertugrul’s wide success in India since 2019, the historical saga, Kudus Fatihi Selahaddin Eyyubi, is set to be released in Hindi on February 20, on the YouTube channel of Turkish Radio and Television Corporation.
