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]
