The film is produced by Umesh Kumar Baral, with Kumar Kattel and Shailesh Khatri serving as executive producers.
This will be Deepak Prasad Acharya’s second directorial venture. His previous film “Paran” became the highest-grossing film of 2082 BS. Similarly, “Laaj Sharanam,” directed and acted by Kumar Kattel, also achieved commercial success.
