Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai told in the interview, “I was wondering, ‘What will it look like? Do I have dialogues? How many times will I have to do it? How long will it take? When I saw the set on the day of shooting, it was beyond my imagination. And the funny thing was that I didn’t have to speak any lines, so things became very easy.”
Malala Yousafzai praised the positive portrayals of Muslim girls and said that it will make the audience feel connected to them. She said, “Often, when we see conflicts, wars, oppression against people, it always starts to dehumanize other people. I hope we get to hear more stories of people from Gaza, Afghanistan and other parts of the world.”
