Storyteller and digital creator Saigrace Pokharel has been announced as the lead actor in the upcoming Nepali comedy film Phalano Dhiskano.
Dravya Production unveiled two posters of the film during an announcement event held at Jai Nepal Hall in Kathmandu. Both posters offer an early glimpse of Pokharel’s character.
One poster shows him travelling on the back of a motorcycle with a film journalist’s identity card tucked into his coat pocket. In the second, he is seen holding a press card and talking to a bike rider.
The visual details suggest that he will portray an entertainment journalist, although the production team has not formally revealed the full character description.
Speaking at the event, Pokharel said he had initially planned to stop acting after Aa Bata Aama, but changed his mind after reading the new film’s story.
“I thought I would act in Aa Bata Aama and then stop, but acting seems to be addictive,” he said. “I joined this film because I liked its story.”
The film will be directed by Rajkumar and is scheduled to begin shooting after Dashain Festival. Other cast members, the technical team and the release date have yet to be announced.
