Kathmandu: The trailer of the comedy film ‘Kakakiki’ has been officially unveiled. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on Mangsir 11 (November 27).
The production team unveiled the trailer during a special event held on Saturday at Ranjana Cineplex, New Road, Kathmandu.
The trailer offers a glimpse into the film’s central storyline, which revolves around the residents of Kulebari village and their efforts to build a hospital in their community. As shown in the trailer, the villagers come up with various plans to raise funds, with some even suggesting robbing a bank to fulfil their dream.
The trailer features prominent actors including Tripti Nadkar, Gauri Malla, Rekha Thapa, Mahesh Tripathi, Shishir Wangdel, Diya Maskey and Manoj Gajurel, among others.
Speaking at the trailer launch, actress Gauri Malla said the team had attempted to create something different from many of the films currently being made. Actor Shishir Wangdel praised the youthful energy of the production team and described his working experience as enjoyable. Meanwhile, comedian Manoj Gajurel shared that ‘Kakakiki’ marks his return to films after a long gap and is his second film.
Director Bikki Agarwal claimed that the film has been made with the preferences of Nepali audiences in mind. He also revealed that he personally handled the editing of both the teaser and trailer, adding that he would take full responsibility for the film and the audience’s response, regardless of the outcome.
The film was initially scheduled to be released on Bhadra 19. However, following devastating floods and landslides that caused significant loss of lives and property across the country, the production team decided to postpone its release, stating that it was not an appropriate time for a comedy film. The new release date was subsequently fixed for Mangsir 11.
The film also features Prakash Ghimire, Maotse Gurung, Subash Gajurel, Rear Rai, Khadga Bahadur Pun Magar (Khabapu), Pawan Khatiwada (Makuri), Mukunda Mainali, Rambabu Regmi, CD Vijay Adhikari, Saroj Bhandari, Sujana Shrestha, Bishwas Timalsina (BT Kanchha), Alisha Bhog, Subarna Thapa and Kamal Devkota, among others.
The screenplay has been written by director Agarwal alongside Saroj Bhandari and Bikash Aryal. Shraddha Prasai and Sumitra Thapa are the producers, while the film’s concept comes from Suman Agarwal. Bishwas Timalsina (BT Kanchha) has worked as the script doctor.
Sudip Baral serves as the director of photography, with Anish Budhathoki as chief assistant director and Bishal Rai as assistant director. Anish Tamang is responsible for makeup, Suman Pariyar for costume design and Arun Regmi is the production head.
OSR Digital holds the film’s digital rights, while Seven Seas International has acquired its international distribution rights. Film journalist Gopi Krishna Chapagain hosted the trailer launch event. Chapagain is also handling the film’s official media coordination, while Artist Khabar (artistkhabar.com) is the film’s official media partner.
