Nepali Film 'Sarathi' Wraps Himalayan Shoot and Heads Into Editing

The upcoming Nepali film Sarathi has officially completed filming and is now moving into the editing phase, marking a major milestone for the production.

Directed by Kumar Gajurel, the movie stars Uttam Pradhan and Niruta Singh. The team wrapped a month-long shoot in the Gurja Khani area of Myagdi district, followed by final scenes in Kathmandu.

A shoot shaped by mountain terrain

The production spent much of its schedule in the Himalayan region, using the rugged landscape of Gurja Khani as a key backdrop for the film. That location-driven approach suggests Sarathi is aiming for a visually ambitious style that leans on Nepal’s dramatic geography.

After finishing the mountain sequences, the crew returned to Kathmandu to capture the final shots before closing out the filming schedule.

What happens next

With principal photography complete, the film will now enter post-production, where editing will shape the story’s pace, tone, and overall presentation. This stage is often where a film’s final identity begins to take form.

The reunion of Uttam Pradhan and Niruta Singh also adds extra interest for Nepali cinema fans, especially as the project moves from set footage to its final polished version.

Why this project stands out

Sarathi combines a notable cast, a debut director in Kumar Gajurel, and location-heavy filming in one of Nepal’s most scenic regions. That mix gives the film a strong profile as it heads into the next phase of production.
