Nepali Film ‘PariWAR’ Announced, Shooting Begins in Kathmandu

Kathmandu — The new Nepali film titled ‘PariWAR’ has been officially announced. The production team made the announcement during a special inauguration (shubha muhurat) ceremony held in the capital, Kathmandu, where the shooting of the film also commenced.

Directed by Madan Thapa, the majority of the movie will be filmed in Kathmandu, while a few scenes will be shot outside the valley, as informed by the producers. Thapa previously directed the film ‘Bato: Road to Death’ and has also worked as a creative director in ‘Abhimanyu: Chapter-1’, which is set to release on Bhadra 27.

The announcement poster of ‘PariWAR’ features a man, two women, and a child — leading to speculation that the story may involve two wives. A dog and a cat are also seen in the poster.
