It was bad luck for a movie, Kassam ,that Nikhil Upreti left when he ran away with Sanchita to Mumbai. The producers of another movie, Mato, were lucky enough to convince Rajesh Hamal to replace Nikhil, but Kassam’s producers weren’t blessed by luck.
The producer of Kassam, Ramprasad Rijal and director Laxman Rijal had tried to contact Nikhil but, without any success. As an alternative, they approached Biraj Bhatta, but to their dismay, Biraj also declined to act in it.
For a shooting schedule of 10 days, Rijal duo offered Biraj Rs. 500,000, which is a good money. But, Biraj has is own logic to decline to act in the movie. Biraj’s three reasons not to act in the movie: 1. He doesn’t want to act in a EX 3 Digital movie, 2. He won’t act in a movie left by Nikhil Upreti, 3. He won’t like to act in a movie that was scripted for somebody else.
