Diriliş: Ertuğrul and later roles

edit

From 2014 until 2019, Düzyatan starred in the TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul as the eponymous character on TRT 1.[20] Düzyatan was initially reluctant to accept the role, fearing the show would be "ridiculous".[21] He read 13th century works such as the Book of Dede Korkut in preparation for the part.[21] Düzyatan called Ertuğrul "a real hero",[22] and "smart, mature and just",[21] praising his "vision, strength, purpose in life and all of his values",[23] and feeling his portrayal was important in providing a Turkish equivalent to Batman and Spider-Man.[24] Düzyatan is playing the role of Oruç Reis Barbarossa in the Turkish TV series Barbaroslar in 2021.[25][26]

Public image and personal life

edit

On 28 August 2014, he married the granddaughter of Selim Soydan and Hülya Koçyiğit, Neslişah Alkoçlar.[27][20] The couple has a son, Emir Aras (born 2016) and a daughter, Alara (born 2018).[28]

In 2020, Düzyatan went on a short visit to Pakistan, where Diriliş: Ertuğrul has gained popularity, accepting the invitation of a private business company.[29] Pakistan's Make-A-Wish Foundation arranged a meeting between Düzyatan and three young terminally ill fans;[30] when there, Engin said, "Thank you very much, I can see I inspired you and I am very happy for this love."[31] After signing an agreement with the Lahore-based Chaudhary Group of Companies,[32] of which he was a brand ambassador, he visited Lahore and became one of the top discussions on social media and one of his pictures with a lion went viral. Düzyatan also wishes to appear in a Pakistani drama series one day, "if it has a good story."[33]

Two statues of Ertuğrul on horseback inspired by Düzyatan's portrayal of Ertuğrul in Diriliş: Ertuğrul were placed by a private cooperative housing society in Lahore, Pakistan in 2020.[34][35] A bust of Ertuğrul was also erected in Ordu, Turkey in 2020, although it was removed by local authorities after a resemblance to Düzyatan was pointed out.[36][37] Düzyatan was listed by The Muslim 500 in the "Arts & Culture" category in 2021, 2022 and 2023.[3] Düzyatan's Diriliş: Ertuğrul co-star Nurettin Sönmez felt filming for the scene of Ertuğrul's death in Kuruluş: Osman was difficult due to Düzyatan's legacy in playing the character.[38][39] Düzyatan supported the Turkish government's decision to reconvert Hagia Sophia into a mosque in 2020.[40]
