Will Anju Panta be an actress in her 40s? Who is Anju Panta?

The popular singer Anju Panta is good looking personality. Many film producers had approached Anju to feature in their movie int he last decade. Anju had however rejected all of those offers. Now, as she approaches in the 40s (Anju turned 39 a few months back), she had told that she might re-consider her decision not to act in movies. The following video report is prepared to discuss about Anju Panta’s desire to act in movies.

Anju’s condition of her acting debut is that, the story of the movie has to be based on her own life. Why did she change her mind? Here are the reasons:

  • Anju has written an autobiography. The book is expected to release in market after a while.
  • The decision to act in movie might be a promotional strategy of the book (this is just an assumption).
  • While writing the autobiography, Anju might have seen that her story might make an interesting movie. She might be asking the film makers to consider making the movie.
  • Now, she has enjoyed the fame and money, she might have wanted to test another field – acting.

Anju still doesn’t seem to be interested in acting in professional way. She wants to be act for fun and tell her own story. If it is just for fun, she should let the professional actor to do her role. That would be more professional and interesting to the viewers. She could always be featured in a guest’s role. “The Pursuit of Happyness” would be an example of what a biographical film could be.

Too many awards – same categories, same winners, winners didn’t show up

Do you know who is most excited to win an award in an award ceremony?

The first time winners are the most excited and enthusiastic when an award is announced. But, when the winner of the Best Newcomer Award doesn’t show up in an award ceremony to receive the award, there is something seriously wrong. I don’t know if that had happened in the other award ceremonies as well but, I felt it odd when the winner of Best Newcomer award, Samragyee RL Shah, didn’t show up to receive the award in NFDC National Award ceremony, held recently.

Video report:

I think, that was because, she had already won the award and there is no charm in winning more than one awards for the same movie and same role.

I wonder, how Namrata Shrestha could even feel happy – winning awards for the same thing – again and again, and again for the fifth time. Yes, she won Best Actress awards for the same role in ‘Classic’ – five different awards:

  • National Award
  • FAAN Award
  • D Cine Award
  • LG Film Award
  • NFDC Award

I am pretty sure she will win more awards in future. If I were her, after winning the Nation Award, from the President of Nepal, Bidhya Devi Bhandari, I wouldn’t have attended any other award ceremonies.

Another Premgeet sequel? Ma Euta Geet Gauchhu announced by Sudarshan Thapa

Director Sudarshan Thapa announced a new movie titled ‘Ma Euta Geet Gauchhu’ in a program held in Dubai on Friday, September 16. The movie named after the title song of hit movie of the year ‘Premgeet’ and will feature actress Pooja Sharma and Paul Shah in leading role.

A few days ago, the producer of ‘Premgeet’, Santosh Sen had announced the making of the sequel of the movie ‘Premgeet 2’. The biggest omission of the sequel were the actress Pooja Sharma and the director Sudarshan Thapa. Santosh Sen and Sudarshan Thapa are not in good terms these days so the sequel ‘Premgeet 2’ will be directed by the scriptwriter of ‘Premgeet’ Ramsharan Pathak.

As both movies ‘Premgeet 2’ and ‘Ma Euta Geet Gauchhu’ have borrowed the title from the movie ‘Premgeet’ both seem like the sequel of the movie. Let me compare the two –

Premgeet Premgeet 2 Ma Euta Geet Gauchhu 
lead – Pooja Sharma, Pradeep Khadka Pradeep Khadka Pooja Sharma
Director – Sudarshan Thapa Ramsharan Pathak Sudarshan Thapa
Producer – Santosh Sen Santosh Sen Sudarshan Thapa
