Tuesday, 10th Feb 2015, 2:38 PM IST Malala Yousafzai is a 17-year-old Pakistani social activist and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. And director Amjad Khan is making a movie titled ‘Gul Makai’, which is a blog written by Malala. Khan was looking for a girl who looks similar to Malala and he found a Bangladeshi girl Fatima Sheikh to play the lead role. But, then she started getting threat calls. Khan said, "When activists broke into her house, I received a letter from the Governor of Dhaka to end the chaos my film was causing in his city." However now, he has got a replacement in a Bengali girl from Kolkata. "But this time I won't reveal her name or photographs till the film is up for release," he added. Talking about the film, he said, "We are presently building a set of the Pakistani administrative office in Mumbai. We will wrap up in Manali. The script has been approved by Malala's father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, and the story has been discussed with General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the Army General of Pakistan from 2007-2013, who has a pivotal role in the film."
