Gul Makai, a film based on the life of youngest-ever Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai is all set to release on January 31. The movie trailer is out and it looks intriguing.
The trailer starts with the scenic beauty of a valley and a girl’s voice can be heard as a voice-over saying, “Pashtuns never celebrate when a female child is born.”
The short trailer shows Taliban militants torturing the residents of Swat Valley after which the frame shifts to Malala where she is delivering a speech. She says that if the Taliban has the power of weapons they should celebrate the power of the pen.
“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world!”
The movie is directed by H.E. Amjad Khan. Reem Sameer Shaikh will play the lead role of Malala while Atul Kulkarni and Divya Dutta will play the role of Malala’s parents. The film will hit the screens on January 31 – though it is unlikely that the film will release in Pakistan.
