Zhalay Sarhadi questions casting process for Pak-Turk series Selahaddin Eyyubi

A much-anticipated historical series ‘Selahaddin Eyyubi’ based on the life of Selahaddin Eyyubi, a revered Muslim ruler and founder of the Ayyubid dynasty is going to be released on November 13 on TRT.

The series is a joint collaboration between Pakistan and Turkey.

Renowned Pakistani actress Zhalay Sarhadi raised her concerns regarding the selection process of actors for the series exclaiming that people were never given a clarification on whether they were selected or not.

She took to her Instagram handle and shared a story in which she expressed confusion after the auditions and selection of people why they were not informed about their roles

She wrote that many people in a publicized ceremony and through WhatsApp groups were informed that they would be part of the series with a ‘golden ticket’ but still the lack of communication after the initial announcement has left aspiring actors wondering about their roles.

Here are the exact words stated by the lady:

"I am still wondering why auditions were kept for this project and people were 'selected', (after much deliberation)," said Sarhadi, "As most never got an answer to why they were told that they were chosen in a publicized ceremony (also continually over and over again on a WhatsApp group) to be a part of this and then were never contacted even after being awarded a 'golden ticket?'

“Asking for a friend”, she concluded.
