The Gurja Khani schedule of the upcoming Nepali film “Sarathi,” starring Uttam Pradhan and Niruta Singh in lead roles, has been completed. The production team wrapped up a month-long shoot that began on Baisakh 15 and has now returned to Kathmandu.
According to director Kumar Gajurel, only one day of filming remains in Kathmandu before the project moves into post-production. The film’s release date will be announced once post-production work is completed.
Shot in the remote yet breathtakingly beautiful region of Gurja in Myagdi district, the film is based on a social narrative and showcases the area’s unique culture, traditional lifestyle, stone-and-mud houses, the daily lives of the Chhantyal and Dalit communities, and the stunning landscapes of the Gurja and Churen Himalayan ranges.
One of the film’s biggest highlights is the on-screen reunion of veteran actors Uttam Pradhan and Niruta Singh after nearly two decades. Their return to the screen together has generated considerable interest among audiences and within the Nepali film industry.
Director Gajurel believes “Sarathi” will also help promote the tourism potential of the Gurja region on both national and international platforms.
The film features an ensemble cast including Mukunda Shrestha, Rajendra KC, Giri Bishwakarma, Gayatri Joshi, Madan Thapa, Samrant Thapa, Milan Khadka, Rashmi Gurung, Kalpana Thapa, Asha Bishwakarma, Santosh Dahal, Biplav Khadka, Sagar Kandel and Dhiren Moktan.
Produced under the banner of Kimbhe Production in collaboration with Dhiraj Infinity Films, the film is produced by Tara Thapa “Kimbhe” and Sauryal Thapa. Dhiraj Tamang and Bek Bahadur Bishwakarma serve as co-producers, while Pradip Rayamajhi and Radip Shrestha are executive producers. Amir KC is the line producer, and cinematography is handled by Sankalp Bhujel.
