After hitting millions of subscribers, the team of world- acclaimed Turkish series “Diriliş: Ertuğrul” has now urged fans for more subscriptions in order to hit the world record for most "subscribers on Youtube in a month".
Taking to Twitter, the digital director for Turkish Radio and Television (TRT), Riyaad Minty called out the fan base of Ertuğrul to help in breaking the record of most subscribers in a month which currently stands at 6.6 million.
“We’ve had more than 6 million people visit the channel already, but we need you to subscribe to get the record for most subscribers in one month,” Minty wrote on Twitter.
Originally produced by the Turkish state-owned media company TRT in collaboration with a private company, the historic drama was later dubbed into various languages and was streamed online around the world.
The series depicts the pre-history of the Ottoman Empire, chronicling around the plight of the nomadic Kayi Oghuz Turkic tribe, led by Ertugrul, the father of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.
Earlier, the team had expressed their gratitude for receiving a tremendous response from Pakistan in a short span of time.
“Ertuğrul has gone viral in Pakistan and its episodes are trending on YouTube in Pakistan every day,” Minty had said, adding that there are more than 30 million views and over 600,000 subscribers on Youtube channel.
