Kathmandu — Actor Bipin Karki is bringing one of his most anticipated projects to audiences this season. The film Kaaji has officially announced its release date of Jestha 8, with the production team releasing a romantic preview that has already generated strong curiosity among audiences.
Karki has been enthusiastic in his endorsement of the film, comparing it to the timeless Nepali classic by Laxmi Prasad Devkota. "It is a classic love story," he said. "I believe it will surprise audiences the way Unko Sweater did. You can think of it as an outstanding love story in the spirit of Muna Madan."
The film centers on the love story of a married couple, presented with sensitivity and warmth. The preview highlights both the film's grand production values and sharp dialogue, and actress Keki Adhikari appears in the role of Kaji's cousin — a supporting presence that adds another layer to the story.
