We had seen some animation in Nepali movies lately but there is not a single fully animated movie in Nepali movie history.
Tulsi Ghimire is planning to make a new record by producing a fully animated movie name Gautam Buddha. Ghimire has brought in students from Lalitkala Campus in a studio in Thapathali to start drawing the characters of the movie.
Ghimire told that the works for the movie has been going on for the last seven months and it is expected that the movie will take another six months to finish. The movie is targeted to the foreign audience and will feature the life of Gautam Buddha.
Everybody raised their eyebrows when a news was released about producers increasing the pay of the director, at its last stage of shooting. The news was released by a site filmykhabar.com, in which, the site is full of praises for the movie. It is told that the movie is ‘Hollywood’ standard movie and the producers were so impressed by the director that they increased the pay. It is however not told what was the previous pay of the director.
The movie is named ‘Challenge’ and the director is Shyam Bhattarai. The movie is in its last stage, and if I were the producer, this is the time I feel the pressure and tighten my purse.
The website names Shyam a ‘Maha Nayak’ and that he will not look at 2-4 lakhs for his future projects.
If you don’t know Shyam Bhattarai, he is the director who loves controversy. He had married, divorced, and remarried Ranjana Sharma in 2009. Till date, Shyam has made only two movies (Maryada and Mausam) and Challenge is his third movie.
See these movies Maryada and Mausam and write in comment if he is the best Nepali director. More in Nepali follows:
Melina Manandhar has started appearing in Newari movies lately. A movie made in the story of Buddha, ‘Patachara’ is being shown in Guna Cinema and has already passed the 51 days landmark. Another movie ‘Wala Mayjyu’ is finished and is in the process of release.
Melina started her film career with ‘Priyasi’ and has already acted in more than 50 movies. She had also produced a movie named ‘Jwalamukhi’ some two years back.
In a question about nudity in movies Melina says that everybody knows there is cloth on the body parts not shown in the screen. She added that the viewers are more advanced and such nudity is not a big issue. Read the full interview in Nepali, taken by Kantipur representative.
I was surprised when Kantipur published an article about a, so called Nepali, sex film actress. I am not sure if she is Nepali or not but in a video that I came across, she says that she is an Indian. See for yourself:
Girls like Maya Bazin (or Deepsikha, or whatever) don’t even tell their real names. Everybody knows, these girls can say anything that makes them special. They don’t have to show any proof of their sayings so they use their imagination to take advantage of the situation. (more…)
