Star India have released a first look at their brand new series Amala (Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka?) which will premiere April 3rd on Star Plus, Eccho Rights reports today.

The story of a young woman who must overcome a horrific group assault while confronting conflicting feelings for one of her attackers, the series is based on the series Fatmagul from Turkish producers Ay Yapim.

“Amala is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Given the phenomenal success of the original from Ay Yapim, Star have a huge title on their hands. The first impression is that they have a truly beautiful production which both honours the original script as well as putting a unique local spin on it,” says Nixon Yau Lim, Head of Asia Pacific at Eccho Rights, the international distributor who negotiated the format deal between Ay Yapim and Star.

Eccho Rights will now represent the new series as a readymade worldwide, and according to Lim, “many territories are already showing a strong interest, based on this short trailer, as well as the reputation of the original scripts of course.”
