One Poster, One Bold Character and Samragyee’s Major Comeback
After spending two years away from the big screen, Samragyee RL Shah is officially returning in a leading role. The popular actress will play a bold new character named ASH in the Nepali film “Ekka Missi Badshah,” directed by debut filmmaker Sanjay Rai.
The film was formally announced at a special event in Kathmandu, where the production team unveiled Samragyee’s first-look character poster. The reveal introduced her as ASH and presented her in a striking red look inspired by the Queen of Hearts motif.
Samragyee Introduced as ASH
The newly released poster identifies Samragyee’s character as ASH. According to published reports, ASH is bold, fearless and adventurous, a role the actress found sufficiently different and compelling to bring her back to the screen.
Samragyee reportedly said she had stayed away from films because she was not finding characters that genuinely interested her. Her decision to join “Ekka Missi Badshah” therefore adds another layer of anticipation to the project: audiences will not only see her after a noticeable gap, but also in a role she considers distinct from her previous work.
Her comeback is likely to attract attention from both her established fan base and audiences curious to see how her screen persona has evolved during her absence.

Sanjay Rai Makes His Directorial Debut
“Ekka Missi Badshah” will mark the feature-film directorial debut of UK-based filmmaker Sanjay Rai. The project is presented by Mohini Devi Rai, as stated on the official promotional material and in published coverage.
The film carries the tagline “Some win, some lose, some become the Badshah,” suggesting a story involving ambition, competition, personal struggle and transformation.
Reports indicate that the narrative will focus on the younger generation and examine modern love, relationships, social-media culture and social expectations. It will also follow two childhood friends as they navigate personal growth, family pressures and changing circumstances.

Search Underway for Two Male Leads
Samragyee is currently the principal confirmed cast member. The production team has announced open auditions for two major male roles named Krish and Arjun, indicating that casting is still underway.
The technical team reportedly includes Narendra Mainali as cinematographer, Nikesh Karki and Roman Bajracharya as music producers, Ashim Ranabhat as stylist and Sunil Shivabhakti as editor. Sudipta is associated with the film as executive producer, while Elon Gurung is listed as line producer and Supath Shrestha as project supervisor.
Principal photography is currently expected to begin in February 2027, although production schedules may change as casting and pre-production progress.
Samragyee returning after a two-year break, a debut director behind the camera and major cast announcements still to come, “Ekka Missi Badshah” has already created early curiosity. The next major test will be whether its story, casting and first promotional materials can convert that initial interest into sustained audience anticipation.
