Engin Altan Duzyatan: Resurrection Ertugrul (Dirilis Ertugrul) Changed My Life

Engin Altan Duzyatan, the main character in the Turkish TV series Resurrection Ertugrul (Dirilis Ertugul), stated that his role of Ertugrul Gazi changed his life. He stated that “It is very important to play Ertugrul Gazi who is the hero of our ancestry. Of course, this role has changed something in my life. I am the man who always tries to act carefully, but I am trying to live my private life more carefully since I took the role of Ertugrul Gazi.”

“The Love Towards Our Job Increases Our Work Enthusiasm”

“It makes us too happy to see how much people love our job and it also increases our work enthusiasm. We have seen this in our episode ratings but to see people’s energy directly with our eyes is much better. We have been trying to deserve this love. We work five days in a week and I hope that this love will increasingly continue to grow.

“There Is A Job Offer From Abroad But I Do Not Have Time”

“I have received some job offers from abroad but it is very difficult to do it due to differences concerning work order between Turkey and abroad. In Turkey, we can shoot films only during summer time. However, in abroad, films also require working during winter time. I do not have any time during winter time due to my tv series. Because of this reason, I could not take part in foreign project. I hope that I will do in the future. ”

I Would Prefer Seeing Turkish Projects’ Success in Abroad”

“I want to see Turkish actors and actresses in Hollywood projects but I would prefer seeing Turkish projects in Hollywood. I want to see the success of our own projects in Hollywood.”

“At this age, I have received a very good role. I received Ertugrul Gazi role when I was 35 years old and I have been playing in this tv series for 2 years. I don’t want to plan what will happen after Resurrection Ertugrul tv series. I usually want to look at what is happening now. I am trying to enjoy this time.”

  • It's the best Teleserie I've seen in my life, Cast: excellent ! Amazing actors , so is the beautiful story.Millions of successes to all the people who made this marvel possible.fFrom argentina thousand congratulations !!!!

  • My husband and I watch close to 3 episodes per night. We are thoroughly enjoying every episode and can't wait to watch more episodes each day. Hopefully Netflix will continue to screen the rest of the seasons up. Until the current series 5. I take my hat off to the director and his crew for filming the history of the Ottaman Empire and its history prior to that. It makes fantastic viewing.

  • One of the best TV series. It nicely captures sense of loyalty, honour and chivalry, that are sorely missing in modern TV shows. Even the love story is done in a good taste/modestly.

    • I totally agree 100%. I feel so good after watching Resurrection that I find myself re-watching it. Engin is a great all around actor ( as well as the rest of the cast) who did two things that I appreciate. First, he is a great close up actor. His feels and thought processes , while in character can be seen by his ever so subtle expressions. Sometimes it's all in his eyes other times it's his facial twitches etc. Second, he represented the evolving maturation of his character superbly, from an eager young swordsman to a parent who needs to balance his life and mission, a perpetual target to finally a wise strategist who fights with his head first and sword last. I hope he appears in Osman series.

      I cannot praise this production enough. I also would NOT like to see Turkish actors in Hollywood. It would be a demotion in my opinion.

    • I agree, and I have learned so much about the Turkish History. I love all the characters It would take me more pages to describe how much I love each character How do I follow Engin?? Wonder when season 4 comes to Netflix????

    My wife and I have been watching with GREAT interest every episode of "Resurrection Erthugurl" reading every English sub-title to grasp the deepest dialogue. I should say that we are Jain (Hindu), from India, but after watching upto the end of Season 2, we Appreciate and understand that TRUTH is the same essence of EVERY religion. I am not surprised when Engin Altan Duzyatan, says that his life has changed after acting in this TV-serial, and that he is careful about his demeanor in public life, as people would surely see him as Erthugurl himself.
    We look forward to seeing Season 3 and 4 which hopefully will have english subtitles ... our CONGRATULATONS to each and every actor in the series, as they have performed brilliantly and not to forget the DIRECTOR ... WONDERFUL ALL THE WAY

  • Merabah,

    I love and enjoy watching the series of this show on Netflix, however, Netflix only have season 1 and season with English subtitles. I'd like to see season 3, 4, and any seasons thereafter. I've requested Netflix twice to get the other seasons but to no avail. If all the series is on dvd, it would be nice to buy it. For now, I watch season 1 and 2 over and over and over again like thousand times.

    I'm very hooked on this show. Turkish films to me are amazing and so are actors. It also allows me to learn a few Turkish phrases.

  • I am watching this on Netflix and I didn’t know that the Turkish make such brilliant films ( I am in the UK) I AM absolutely hooked on this, well directed, actors are excellent – I was going to cancel my Netflix but this has made me stay ! Another Turkish one to lookout for is Yunas Emre.

  • I'm from the U.S. & I have truly come to love this series. It has many moral messages, teaches that we are all children of God & teaches right from wrong. Thank you so much for the opportunity to see this wonderful series, learn about Turkish history and realistic insight about Islam.

  • Most magnificent series ever. Excellent writing, acting, cast, historical references. I have watched Seasons I & II on Netflix and would like to see II & IV with subtitles. Engin Altan Duzyatan is one of the best actors I've seen, as well as the rest of the cast.
    I am a retired teacher and have found this film riveting and inspiring.

  • My husband and I love this series and love finding out about and learning more about the Turkish history. This series is just mesmerizing and we can't get enough of it. We have watch every show thru Season 3 and are looking now for Season 4 with English subtitles. We hope to see Season 4 soon. I would take more hours than I have to recommend this series. Everyone should try for themselves. The best part about reading the translation is that we have to sit still and pay attention with distractions of every day house things. This makes our time with the series very personal and just beautiful. Everything about the series (acting, scenery, love from the characters and for each other) is wonderous!

  • I m madly fan of tha drama as well as acting,plz facilite those who dont understand turky language thx
