Priyanka Karki and Durgesh Thapa
Priyanka Karki’s crime thriller movie ‘Masterni’ has added fresh energy to its promotional campaign with a lively new song featuring Durgesh Thapa, Priyanka Karki, Ayushman Joshi and Aaryan Sigdel.
Released through Durgesh Thapa’s official YouTube channel, the promotional track brings together four familiar faces from Nepal’s entertainment industry in a colourful, performance-driven music video.
Durgesh and Babina Kiratee have provided the vocals for the song, while Durgesh is also credited with writing and composing the track. According to information shared by the film’s promotional team, the singer offered the song to Priyanka as a gesture of support for the movie’s theatrical campaign.
Rather than revealing key elements of the film’s murder-mystery storyline, the video focuses on music, choreography, costumes and celebrity appeal. Priyanka delivers expressive dance sequences, while Durgesh brings his familiar high-energy screen presence. Ayushman and Aaryan add further star power to the performance.
Pradeep Lama developed the video’s concept and handled its choreography and direction.
