Indian director to make biopic on Malala Yousufzai – The Express Tribune
Indian director Amjad Khan has
announced that the next project he will
work on will be a biopic on teenage
education activist Malala Yousafzai,
NDTV reported on Friday.
Khan, of Le Gaya Saddam fame and
subject of a fatwa, is currently casting
actors and refuses to reveal the name of
the child actor who will portray the 15-
year-old. Its not the right time because
so many things are happening at once. We
have shortlisted a few names. And Im
sure it will be a courageous effort that
will help shed some light on the age old
issues facing South Asia, says Amjad.
Dilating why he chose to base his film on
the brave activist, the filmmaker said, As
of today, Malala is the name of a
revolution not only in her own country
but around the world.
She proved that age has nothing to do
with courage.
Im writing this film as a tribute to this
young girl and not only she but also for
the million others who are inspired by
her act, Khan said.
The film is expected to start pre-
production shortly and will be shot in
Iran, Bhuj and other parts of India.
