Does that mean we don’t have a pool of variety of actress to choose from? It is a fact, that we depend on a lot of things to foreigners… but, I never thought we would need an Indian actress to act in a Nepali movie. With beauty contests being held every now and then, there should actually be a lot of talented and versatile actress willing to start acting as their career.

A Nepali minister who was an Indian national
This is an old issue and I am not sure what happened afterwards. Does anybody know what the Supreme Court has ruled on the case?
It was UML’s minister for Local Development, Ram Chandra Jha, who was accused of being an Indian Citizen. The Nepali citizen certificate was found to be fake (as it was issued on Saturday, a government holiday).
Reports say that Mr. Jha is in possession of the Indian Residency Permit from Harlakhi area of Madhubani District, State of Bihar, India, issued on July 12, 2008, House Number 143. According to
the residency permit, Mr. Jha is an Indian national and his father Pulkit Jha too obviously is an Indian national.

Hifajat and Hindu sentiment
The film maker and other film professionals however have protested the CDO’s action.
They argued that the movie was being screened after receiving the government permission and after being passed by the censor board. By the order of the CDO, the police has removed the posters of the movie and stopped the screening at Puspanjali and Asthanarayan Cinema Halls in Kathmandu.
Our friends at MoviesNepal have rightly said that religion shouldn’t be brought in such a minor issue:
… Making a god on a fashion item doesn’t demand protest… बरॠउकà¥à¤¤ फिलà¥à¤®à¤•à¥‹ पोसà¥à¤Ÿà¤°, जसमा विदेशी पोसà¥à¤Ÿà¤°à¤•à¥‹ हà¥à¤¬à¤¹à¥ नकà¥à¤•à¤² गरिà¤à¤•à¥‹ छ, तेसà¥à¤•à¥‹ बिरोध हà¥à¤¨à¥ परà¥à¤›.
Rekha Thapa has worn a yellow dress with ‘Hare-Ram Hare-Krishna’ scripts in the song ‘Naran Naran …’ and a fight scene. The scenes of dance(03:05) and the fight scenes (00:30) can be seen in the following trailer.
