Another actress has announced a movie, Keki Adhikari. In a program held in Kathmanu on October 23, 2017 actress Keki Adhikari formally announced a new movie titled ‘Kohalpur Express’. The actress who debuted in Nepali film industry in ‘Swor’, was better known as a music video model before that. The movie is being directed by a music video director, Bishal Bhandari. The movie is made under Keki’s home production house Junkiri Arts.

The movie going to the floor on Kartik 13 will feature Keki in the leading role.

Producer actresses in Nepali film industry

Almost all the successful actresses in the Nepali film industry try their luck by producing movies. But, only a few had been successful. When talking about successful producers who are also actresses of the Nepali movies – only a couple of names comes in my mind – Rekha Thapa and Deepa Shree Niraula. Another actress, Jharana Thapa, can also be named one but, her husband is the real producer of her movies. Rekha has been a producer of some of her recent movies although she started under her ex-husband, Chhabi Raj Ojha. Although her success rate has declined in recent years, she is the only successful actress/producer of the Nepali film industry.

In recent years a lot of actresses tried their luck in producing – Namrata Shrestha failed miserably in her production debut ‘Soul Sister’. Richa Sharma failed in her production debut ‘Aadha Love’. Rejina Upreti left the film industry after the failure of her production debut ‘Bardaan’. Actress Karishma Manandhar left the film industry and went to the USA in the peak of her demand after the failure of her second production ‘Babu Saheb’. Ashika Tamang debuted in her own production movie ‘Sushree’ and failed to make an impression. The fate of Nisha Adhikari’s movie ‘Jhyanakuti’ is to be seen.

The producer actress of Deepak Raj Giri team, Deepa Shree Niraula, is a successful producer who is also a successful actress and film director. Deepa however can be termed more of an investor than a producer.
