New Delhi: The inspirational story of eight-year-old Tajamul Islam, the country’s youngest kickboxing World Champion from Kashmir, has captured the interest of film producer Mushtaq Nadiadwala, who has notched up the rights for a biopic.

Tajamul had scripted history at the World Kickboxing Championship in Italy in November last year. Just last month, there was a buzz that writer Shibani Bathija was writing a script on the same subject.

But Mushtaq says they have “secured the sole rights” of the story now. The script of the prospective film on her life is a work in progress under the banner MAN Films.

“This movie specifically will aim to break gender stereotyping and bring to light the greatness that girls are destined for,” said Mushtaq.
