After debuting in 2012’s runaway blockbuster Loot, Saugat Malla remained, in the ensuing years, the most sought-after actor in the Nepali film industry. Malla, who started as a theatre actor, made that rare transition to the big screen, picking up one project after another.

But, despite him giving fine performances in several films he has appeared in, only a few have gone on to become successes, critically, which has prompted critics to wonder whether Malla has wasted his talent picking up one feeble project after another.

Malla is now set to make his comeback in the same gangstar avatar as in his debut film, with the Mukunda Bhatta-directorial Gang of Gani.

Gang of Gani, a drama, is Malla’s second teamup with Bhatta after 2017’s Lappan Chhappan.

According to director Bhatta, Gang of Gani will be shot in locations around Darchula and Kathmandu.

The film is yet to be announced and, besides Malla, the actors to play in the film are yet to be finalised.
