This week three major movies are trying to lure viewers in Kathmandu. Roj Rana has two movies in market and Rekha Thapa has high hopes on her release "Hifajat". Roj Rana’s ‘Dosti’ is running in Bishow Jyoti and Ganga movie halls in third week and ‘Takkar Dui Mutuko’ is released on Friday. ‘Dosti’ is also being released in theaters outside the valley on Friday.
Rekha Thapa is promoting her latest movie ‘Hifajat’ these days. The movie is going to be released all over Nepal on this Friday (April 9, 2010). Her previous movies ‘Himmat‘ and ‘Kismat‘ did very good business and were hit movies and she is expecting ‘Hifajat’ to follow suit.
The movie ‘Hifazaat’ is produced by Chhabi Ojha, Rekha’s husband, and directed by Gyanendra Deuja. Although the movie features new lead actor Aayush Rijal and Aaryan Rekha Thapa is widely seen in the promo of the movie. In an interview with Nagariknews, Rekha told that she is senior to the actors and she has done more work in the movie so she is featured in the promo.
It was not only the politicians who are fans of yoga guru Ramdev, film artists are equally attracted to the yoga camp held in Tundikhel, Kathmandu.
Ramdev invites influential people in his camp to make it interesting. Such special guests talk about the importance of yoga. On Wednesday, three actors, Rekha Thapa, Jharana Thapa, and Bhuwan KC, were invited to give a talk in the yoga camp.
Rekha Thapa went with her mother to the camp and talked about the importance of yoga in a person’s health. Bhuwan KC tried to talk in Hindi but Ramdev told that he can understand Nepali.
Khagendra Thapa Magar, world’s shortest person (62 cm) is only 4.6 kg in weight. When somebody meets the 18-year-old guy, the person can not resist carrying him. This time it was actress Rekha Thapa who carried and kissed Khagendra. Khagendra returned the favor with numerous kisses and a marriage proposal.
The light-weight little guy Khagendra Thapa Magar is being an object of admiration among political leaders and film actors these days. Khagendra is collecting funds but, it looks like the political leaders were more concerned with carrying him rather than supporting financially. In my last post PM Nepal was carrying him on his lap.
After that, every major political leaders were seen photographed carrying Khagendra. Here is a collection of photographs of different leaders meeting Khagendra.

The movie ‘Anga Rakshyak’ is a presentation of Siddhartha Movies by Madhav Lal Shrestha and Nirmal Sharma. The action love story movie features superstars Rajesh Hamal, Rekha Thapa, Jal Shah and Dhiren Shakya in leading roles. The movie was a superhit movie at the time of its release.
Another Rajesh Hamal movie – an action movie with Dhiren Shakya. The actresses in the movie are two of the top actresses in the film industry – Rekha Thapa and Jal Shah. The movie directed by Dayaram Dahal also features another veteran actor, Nir Shah.
These days, Rajesh Hamal has stopped signing new movies. The actor Dhiren Shakya has also stopped appearing in movies but he is still involved in a business related to the film industry. Nir Shah is still active as a producer, actor and director. Rekha is active as an actress and producer. Jal Shah has left Nepal and is living in the USA with her husband and a daughter. As Jal has gained quite a bit of weight, the possibility of her returning in the film industry is virtually none.
