Kathmandu – The Nepali film industry has seen a growing influx of entrepreneurs venturing into filmmaking. With over a hundred films being produced annually, many new producers are entering the scene.

She has entered the film industry as a producer with the movie “Man Binako Dhan”, where she also serves as the executive producer.
The film is directed by Tank Budhathoki and is currently in its post-production phase. The movie stars singer Ashok Darji in the lead role. After the song “Man Binako Dhan Thulo ki Dhan Binako Man Thulo”, featuring Tank and Ashok, became a massive hit, it brought significant changes to Ashok’s life.
