Gul
Makai
aka
Malala
Yousafzai
was
11
when
she
first
came
into
attention
through
her
heartfelt
diary.
Published
on
BBC
Urdu,
the
the
2014
Nobel
Peace
Prize
Laureate
wrote
under
the
pseudonym
'Gul
Makai',
the
name
of
a
heroine
from
a
Pashtun
folk
tale.
The
blog's
principle
thought
process
was
to
narrate
her
desire
to
remain
in
education
and
for
other
girls
to
have
a
chance
to
be
educated.
Gul
Makai's
blogs
depicted
life
under
Taliban
rule
from
her
home
town
of
Mingora,
in
the
northwest
region
of
Pakistan
she
affectionately
calls
"My
Swat".
HE
Amjad
Khan's
movie
Gul
Makai
will
showcase
the
earlier
life
of
Malala
and
the
gruesome
and
cruel
environment
the
Swat
Valley
transformed
into
after
Taliban
domination.
HE
Amjad
Khan
says
on
the
movie
Gul
Makai,
"We
hope
the
story
of
Malala
Yousafzai
reaches
people
across
the
world
through
our
film,
so
they
realise
how
difficult
it
is
for
some
children
to
get
access
to
education.
My
thought
is
to
convey
a
message
that
every
girl
or
boy
deserves
to
go
to
school.
It's
their
fundamental
right."
He
further
adds,
"The
movie
will
likewise
showcase
how
Malala
has
spoken
in
favour
of
girl's
education
and
highlighting
the
atrocities
of
Taliban.
It
will
also
show
the
support
Malala
reliably
received
and
encouragement
in
her
activism
from
her
parents.
The
idea
for
the
blog
was
even
that
of
her
father
Ziauddin,
who
ran
a
local
private
school."
To
get
the
real-life
story
on
the
big
screen,
writer
Bhaswati
Chakrabarty
spent
two
long
years
in
research
and
analysis
and
took
another
two
years
in
penning
the
script.
Presented
by
Dr
Jayantilal
Gada
of
Pen
Movies,
Gul
Makai
is
produced
by
Sanjay
Singla
and
Preeti
Vijay
Jaju,
with
Priya
Samant
being
the
Impact
Advisor
to
the
film.
Gul
Makai
is
set
to
release
on
31
January
2020.
