Director Statement

I grew up as a simple village boy, who loved movies and dreamed of playing a hero in a movie someday. As a kid, I performed acts for my friends and I believe that these small time acts helped me make my foundation even stronger. Gradually I started attracting other people’s attention and eventually got myself involved in the film industry. But around the same time, with the wake of internal conflict in Nepal, things were in uproar. A slogan in the interest of the tribal people was being raised and tribal people were slowly being aware of their rights. So, I also engaged myself in the social activities of my own ethnic group.

It is a wellknown fact that after the crisis, the demands of many tribes have been addressed by the government. However, there are some tribes that are still continuing their movement demanding rights. This has directly or indirectly affected other groups as well. The truth is that the ruthless behavior of some people in the name of the movement has also tormented the zealous youth of the society. Being one of the victims, I was moved to make this film.

Through the story and characters of this movie, I would like to make a point that a healthy and prosperous society is much more important than the identity of some particular group. All people are born the same. In fact, when humanity started out there was no caste or religion and people were doing just fine. Therefore, with this move I’m asking all our Nepalese brothers and sisters to let go of individualism and unite as one towards a brighter Nepal.
