Meanwhile, Shirin also loves Jalaluddin, until Mihricihan, UzlagShah's mother tells her to marry her son, UzlagShah. Uzlagshah also secretly loves Shirin, and Shirin starts liking him after he agrees for the marriage. Another reason she married him was because he was going to become a Sultan and she'd be a Sultan's wife.

Turkan Hatun runs away and brings a army to fight her Son, but Jalaluddin stops the war by a Shiekh. They return to the palace soon. Jalaluddin buys Kutlu Bike a beautiful dress before her wedding. Jalaluddin marries Kutlu Bike, with people dancing and singing and on his first night with her, when they are getting ready for bed, he finds out all her secrets.

Production
The television series includes both Turkish and Uzbek actors[4] and it is produced by Turkish screenwriter Mehmet Bozdağ,[5] while being directed by Metin Günay.[6] Nurgissa Almurat of Kazakhstan, Reza Himmeti of Iran are also directors of the series.[7] A statement said, "About a thousand people will take part in the project. The series, which will be shot in Uzbekistan and Turkey, consists of 13 episodes, and each episode will be one hour long".[8] Mendirman Jaloliddin is sometimes considered a "multi-part film" or just a "film" for its short amount of episodes and shorter amount of screentime, however, there is likely to be a second season.[citation needed] Uzbek and Turkish artists gathered at the Milliy TV [Wikidata] studio for the first part of the production and answered the questions from the audience live after the first episode of the series was broadcast.
After a conference in Tashkent where it was first announced that a series with this name will be produced, an intensive collaboration between producers, directors, screenwriters, historians, consultants, artists, art directors, architects and costume designers began. Tough casting awaited many Turkish and Uzbek actors for the series who had to receive special training for battle scenes, horse riding and fencing. They also had to learn each other's languages.[9] The digital effects of Mendirman Celaleddin, which employs a team of about 500 people behind the scenes, included 200 people from Turkey, England, India and Malaysia.[7] Based on the sketches of Turkish and Uzbek artists, more than 200 tailors worked on costumes for the series.[9]
Set
The Bozdağ Film set was prepared to build an atmosphere of the 13th century. In Turkey, it was built on an area of 30 hectares and above the two-storey Khorezmshah palace building, 5.5 meters high, which filled an area of 3,500 square meters, 1,200 people worked. Uzbek media has said that the set looks exactly like how a real 13th-century palace would be like. The streets of Konye-Urgench, residential buildings, the central market were also built and praised. The desert battle scenes were filmed in Aksaray, 750 km from Istanbul. It was scheduled to premiere in January 2021 but instead was released in February.[9]
Release
Mehmet Bozdağ announced in 2020 that he had been working on the new project since 2018, at the request of the Government of Uzbekistan.[10] Saida Mirziyoyeva the deputy chairperson of the board of trustees of the Public Foundation for Support and Development of National Mass Media in Uzbekistan, said on Twitter, “Dear Friends, I am pleased to announce that on February 14 at 20:30 the Milliy TV channel will start showing the historical series “Mendirman Jaloliddin”.[2] She further said, “Great script, great acting – this series captures from the first to the last episode. And most importantly, it gives an idea of the history of our region for the general public in an understandable colorful language of cinema. I highly recommend watching it!”[2] It was eventually released on 14 February 2021.[2]
Reception
The television series picked up attention in Pakistan and with the release of only the first episode, it became popular and social media users began to share links to the first episode in Urdu subtitles.[11]
