Aamir Khan makes history as the film "P.K.," in which he plays the title role, becomes the first Indian film to be released in China, according to India Times.
Written by Abhijit Joshi, Sreerag Nambiar and its director Rajkumar Hirani, "P.K." is about a man known only by his initials P.K. asking questions that will lead him to a journey of love, laughter and letting go.
Recently, Khan is among the Bollywood stars who have come out in support of "action/2015" campaign, which was announced by Nobel Peace Prize winner and education activist Malala Yousafzai in 2014, NDTV reported.
Yousafzai was 17 when she won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize making her the youngest recipient of the prestigious award. She was chosen among 278 nominees, which include 47 organizations and 231 individuals, such as Russian president Vladimir Putin, the Pope, and whistle-blowers from the United States, Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning.
"Despite her youth, Malala Yousafzai has already fought for several years for the right of girls to education, and has shown by example that children and young people, too, can contribute to improving their own situations," the Nobel committee explained in a statement.
According to the statement, Yousafzai has fought her fight "under the most dangerous circumstances" and has become "a leading spokesperson for girls' rights to education" through her "heroic struggle."
In 2012, a Taliban gunman shot the Pakistani teenage education campaigner shot on school bus in her home country of Pakistan after rising to fame due to her girls' education campaign. She was then treated for serious injuries in Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham. Since then, she continued her campaign and even spoke before the United Nations and met with U.S. President Barack Obama.
