Mumbai/IBNS: Gul Makai, a biopic based on the life of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, is all set to hit the silver screen on Jan 31 next year. The film has been directed by  Amjad Khan.

Popular TV actress Reem Shaikh will be seen as Malala Yousafzai along with National Awardee Divya Dutta, Atul Kulkarni and Mukesh Rishi and Pankaj Tripathi in pivotal roles.

The movie accounts the courageous journey of Ziauddin Yousafzai family, when Swat Valley in Pakistan was seized by Taliban gunmen in 2009 and Sharia law was imposed upon its people.

Ziauddin Yousafzai’s daughter, Malala Yousafzai, spoke against the world's most dangerous terrorist organisation through her blogs on the BBC Urdu website under the pseudonym Gul Makai, against the oppression faced by them in Swat Valley, northwestern Pakistan.

Malala spoke for the right of girls, especially the right to receive a complete education, her courage and bravery gained worldwide recognition and support. Even though her father was more active voice against the Taliban, Malala was chosen to mark the opposition against girl’s education.

On 9 Oct 2012, while on a bus in the Swat District, after taking an exam, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban gunman. She was hit in the head with a bullet and remained  in critical condition and later shifted to a UK hospital. She survived.

Taliban failed and today the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner and the most famous teenager in the world as classified by the UN, has become the voice and force for education for all women across the world .

Presented by Dr Jayantilal Gada (pen) & Tekno Films, the film has been produced by Sanjay Singla.
