Gul Makai director Amjad Khan said that telling the story of Nobel laureate Malala Yousufzai comes with a huge responsibility. The trailer of Gul Makai was released on Thursday. The film portrays a 15-year-old girl’s life before and after the brutal Taliban attack and draws attention towards the importance and influence of Malala’s family throughout her journey.

“It’s a privilege and equally a huge responsibility to make a movie on Malala Yousafzai. I strongly believe that such story’s need to be told. There is a Malala in every household, anyone can bring a change if you have the will for it, and that’s what Gul Makai portrays. I am extremely happy and very proud that my film Gul Makai is all set to release in theatres,” Amjad said.

Popular television actress Reem Shaikh will be seen as Malala Yousafzai. It also stars Divya Dutta, Atul Kulkarni, Mukesh Rishi, and Pankaj Tripathi.

Presented by Dr Jayantilal Gada (Pen), Gul Makai is produced by Sanjay Singla and Preeti Vijay Jaju. The film is set to release on January 31.

Gada said that he feels the story of Gul Makai is very inspiring as it talks about the very important subject of the right to education.
