Notably, Azerbaijanfilm Studio has recently completed the filming of the TV series inspired by Nizami Ganjavi's poem Khosrov and Shirin.

Nizami Ganjavi's poem from his collection "Khamsa" ("Five") was written from 1175/76 to 1191.

The series consists of 12 episodes filmed by the Azerbaijanfilm Studio and the Public Television (?TV) with the support of the Culture Ministry to mark the poet's 880th anniversary and the Year of Nizami Ganjavi in Azerbaijan.
