Deepashree Niraula has been officially signed for the upcoming film ‘Parbati’. On Tuesday, the film’s production team formalized the agreement with her. Nita Dhungana Adhikari, the film’s actress and director, mentioned that although there had been verbal discussions with Deepashree earlier, the formal contract was finalized on Tuesday.
Nita said while signing Deepashree, “We had been consulting and verbally agreed earlier. Today (Tuesday), it was finalized. Having her on my project is a great honor.” She confirmed that Deepashree has been signed as the lead actress.
After signing, Deepashree recalled her collaboration with Nita twelve years ago. “Twelve years ago, in 2070 BS, we helped each other in the film ‘Chha Ekan Chha,’” Deepashree said. “After 12 years, fate has brought us together again, and I am grateful for the opportunity to play the lead role in a film like ‘Parvati’ during the month of Saun, which is associated with Shiva and Parvati. I thank everyone for remembering me.”
Nita expressed her happiness to have Deepashree onboard after remembering her trust twelve years ago and now having her as the lead under her direction. Deepashree is also a successful director and actress of the ‘Chhakka Panja’ team, with most of her directed films being successful, which adds significance to her signing in this film.
Before Deepashree’s signing, Saroj Adhikari from the famous dance group ‘Cartoonz Crew’ had already been signed as the assistant director. Nita Dhungana Adhikari, who is both an accomplished actress and director, will also play the lead role in the film.
