KATHMANDU, Nov. 26: Nepali film industry that has come to a standstill due to the spread of COVID-19 pandemic across the world is now gradually returning to normalcy with filmmakers announcing their new projects and their shooting dates.

Even though the government has not given permission to open the cinema halls, many filmmakers are gearing up towards shooting their new films.

Currently, a core team of the film Bhadakuti is now hunting locations for its shooting in Rupandehi district.

The film unit reached various locations of Rupandehi district to find an appropriate setting for their movie.

According to writer and director Kiran BK, thier film will tell the story of caste discrimination that has been in existence in the Nepali society for years.
