Kathmandu – Director Roshan Miraj’s upcoming film Lalima will focus on the experiences of the sex worker community and systemic injustice, with its release scheduled for March 13 (Falgun 29). The production team unveiled the film’s first poster on Tuesday, revealing both its theme and release date.
Based on the life experiences of around 3,000 sex workers, the film stars Roshani Karki in the lead role. Usha Rajak plays her mother, while Shishir Wangdel, Jeevan Bhattarai, Sabin Kattel, Ghanshyam Joshi, and Sushma Niraula feature in other key roles.
