Karma, one of the most exciting young talents in the Nepali movie industry, is not one to shy away from unorthodox roles. From playing a timid lover in his debut, Sano Sansar, to winning accolades as a gangster in Loot, Karma has been seen in a variety of roles in his still-budding acting career. The recent release of his second Newari feature, Kisa Gautami, is another feather to his already colourful hat. In this interview with the Post’s Marissa Taylor, Karma talks about the Newari flick, and the scope and impact of films in different dialects in the movie industry first film, Patachara, was released in 2010. We had wanted to make a movie on Buddha and his teachings for a long time, and so Patachara was made. It didn’t take much convincing for our director to get us on board. Patachara was received quite well by the audience, and it didn’t take us much time to agree to work on Kisa Gautami as well. As for me, I always wanted to do a Newari film, not just because I am a Newar, but for my grandmother as well. She doesn’t understand Nepali and so she has never watched any of my movies. And when opportunity came for me to do a Newari film, I jumped at it. -
