Namrata Shrestha questions credibility of Nepali film awards

Talking to an online magazine actress Namrata Shrestha has questioned the credibility of Nepali film awards. The actress who doesn’t go in such award ceremonies and hasn’t won any awards so far, is considered to be one of the best actress in the industry.

Namrata says, "I have been working for viewers, not for awards." The awards not being fair is a trend in Nepali film industry. It’s not easy to change and Namrata admitted of not trying to change it. But, she also added that all she can do is boycott such award ceremonies.

But, this time Namrata will be seen in NEFTA Awards in Malaysia. Although she won’t have any programs in the ceremony, she will be there to promote her upcoming movie ‘November Rain’. She will launch the first look of the movie in the ceremony. It’s to be noted that, one of the producers of ‘November Rain’, Subash Giri is also one of the sponsors of NEFTA award.

November Rain release date delayed to March 28

The release date of ‘November Rain’ has been delayed from the previously announced Valentine Day release. The movie marks the debut of actor Aryan Sigdel as a producer and features Aryan, Namrata Shrestha and Chhulthim Gurung in lead roles. The movie is directed by Dinesh Raut.

The new release date is set to Chaitra 14 (March 28, 2014). No other movies are scheduled to release on the date while ‘Divorce’ is scheduled to release the next week (April 4); two movies – ‘Nai Nabhannu La 2′ and ‘Adhi Bato’ are scheduled to release a week after, on April 11. Aryan is said to be working on making the movie a solo release on the day.

Namrata Shrestha to writing a movie, planning to direct it herself

One of the versatile actresses of Nepali movie industry, Namrata Shrestha, is writing the story of a movie. The model turned actress is a very good actress and dancer is known to work in movies that have stories that appeal to her.

 

According to an online magazine, Namrata has finished writing the first few chapters. Apart from being the writer of the movie, she is also planning on testing her directorial skills in the movie. It seems to be shaping up, to be a complete Namrata Shrestha movie with writing, direction and acting. The desire to direct  movie came from the fact that her some of her friends have already started film direction. But, she is willing to wait a while and establish herself in the acting career.

Before jumping in film making Namrata is studying the trends of movie and the progress it is doing. She is planning to take a few years in writing scripts and then start the actual production. So, it seems we need to wait a while before we can see a complete Namrata Shrestha movie.

This is not the first time an actress has written story in movies. Last time, actress Arunima Lamsal had written the script of ‘Deep Shikha’. It’s another story, the movie was a flop, and sent the writer Arunima Lamsal to rest. Arunima also took a break from acting when she decided to give birth to her daughter.

We hope Namrata learns from Arunima and consult other writers before finalizing the story. eVideoBuzz  team wishes Namrata all the best in her venture.

Namrata has recently done the shooting of Aryan Sigdel‘s movie ‘November Rain’ and has returned from a family vacation in Pokhara.

November Rain actress Chhulthim Gurung and Dhiraj Rai divorced

The popular singer Dhiraj Rai has admitted that he and his wife – model / actress Chhulthim Gurung have separated. According Himalkhabar, Dhiraj Rai admitted that the couple have realized that they aren’t made for each other.

Chhulthim had been a fan of Dhiraj Rai. They met and ultimately got married. Now, Dhiraj has admitted – "It’s true we are separated. Our relationship hadn’t been good for the last three years." Apart from being a popular singer, Dhiraj is also an architect.

Chhulthim is debuting as an actress in her upcoming movie ‘November Rain’. The movie is a debut movie of actor Aryan Sigdel as a producer. The movie also features actress Namrata Shrestha in leading role.

Two of Namrata’s movies releasing on Valentine Day

The Valentine Day is the most attractive time to release a love story movie. Actress Namrata Shrestha‘s most awaited movies ‘Megha’ and ‘November Rain’ are scheduled to release on the February 14 of 2014. Although ‘Megha’ was previously scheduled to release on January 31, now it is re-scheduled for the Valentine Day.

Releasing two movies of the same actress might not be a good business sense to either of the producers. That would cause in the division of viewership between the two movies.

‘Megha’ is the debut directorial venture of a female director Samjhana Upreti Rauniar and ‘November Rain’ is also a debut production venture of popular actor Aryan Sigdel. Re-creation of Gopal Yonjan’s music in ‘Megha’ and the introduction of Manisha Koirala‘s brother, Siddhartha Koirala in Nepali movie are some of the positive aspects of ‘Megha’.

‘November Rain’ features the romance of Aryan Sigdel and Namrata Shrestha. Another actress, Chhulthim Gurung will also be featured in the movie. The shooting of the movie completed on the December 1st at a monastery in Chauni. The movie is directed by Dinesh Raut.
