Jitu Nepal’s character look revealed in upcoming movie ‘Karsang’

KATHMANDU: The character look of Jitu Nepal in the upcoming movie Karsang has been revealed. The production team unveiled his character look today.

Jitu Nepal had previously shared a photo from the movie set, where his appearance did not match the character look.

However, the newly revealed look shows that Jitu has put in considerable effort to portray his character in Karsang.

In the character look, Jitu is seen wearing a black cap, checkered shirt, stoked coat, black pants, and boots typically worn in the mountains. He is carrying a bag resting on his knee and holding a kettle, which likely contains alcohol.

The background, featuring houses, mountains, and fog, suggests that his character is from a rural village in the hills.

The poster also features the phrase “Makai ta pinne ghatma pirati basyo thattama” (roughly translated as “Corn is ground with love in a mill”).

This may imply that Jitu’s character has gone to the mill to grind corn, but it also hints at the possibility of his character being involved in a romantic storyline. However, the production team has not clarified this aspect yet.

Previously, the character look of actor Dayahang Rai from Karsang was revealed, and the movie has begun its promotional campaign.

Directed and written by debutant Yam Sherpa, Karsang is scheduled for release on Jan 10, 2025.

The film is based on Sherpa community culture and stars actors like Dayahang Rai, debut actress Srijana Ninglekh, Jitu Nepal, Diya Maskey, Buddhi Tamang, Srishti Gautam, Doma Hyolmo, Prem Lopchan, and Surbir Pandit.

The film is produced by Purushottam Pradhan, who also serves as the cinematographer. Co-producers include Govinda Bohara, executive producer Angchiring Sherpa, and line producer Virendra Shahi.

The international distribution rights for Karsang are held by Aghikar Hulya Events, with Suman Parajuli and Somlal Thokar handling distribution.

RR Films has taken responsibility for nationwide distribution.
