Nikhil Upreti Returns to Silver Screen with 'Acharya'
Summary
Nikhil Upreti returns to the silver screen after nearly a decade with the film Acharya, which he has written, directed, produced, and starred in. He says the action film is meant to match the scale of foreign movies while carrying a message about strength, spirituality, and determination.
Key Points
- Nikhil Upreti has returned to film after almost ten years with Acharya, taking on the roles of story writer, director, producer, and lead actor.
- He says the long gap after Bhairav was due to a lack of the right working environment and team, along with his ongoing spiritual study and practice.
- The film combines action, scripture, science, and martial arts, with scenes that run from Nepal to India and feature stunts performed by Upreti himself.
- Upreti says Acharya aims to offer an international-level viewing experience through modern gadgets, drones, and Dolby Atmos sound.
