Amrit Thapa from Dhangadhi to debut as lead actor in ‘Adhuro Dhun: Sekiya Sarangi’

Dhangadhi: Amrit Thapa, a talented artist and dance instructor from Dhangadhi who has long been active in the art, music and dance sectors of the Far West, is set to appear before audiences as the lead actor in a national film. Thapa, who began his artistic journey through dance training at local cultural stages, music videos and schools, will play the main role in the much-awaited Nepali film ‘Adhuro Dhun: Sekiya Sarangi’.

Having remained consistently active in cultural festivals, fairs and musical programs across Dhangadhi and the Far West, Thapa has established a distinct identity in both acting and dance. Alongside showcasing his acting abilities in various music videos, he has also contributed significantly to art education by providing dance training to children in several schools in Dhangadhi.

Following years of continuous hard work, discipline and dedication to his craft, Thapa has earned the opportunity to take on the lead role in a national-level film. This achievement is being viewed as an inspiring example for emerging artists in the Far West.

‘Adhuro Dhun: Sekiya Sarangi’ in final preparations
The production team has stated that pre-production work for ‘Adhuro Dhun: Sekiya Sarangi’, being produced under the banner of Pat Team Collection Films Pvt. Ltd., is progressing rapidly. The film focuses on the psychological conflicts arising from the modern digital era, the busyness of corporate life, and the growing lack of communication within families, aiming to portray the changing realities of Nepali society in an artistic manner.

The film is produced by Tikaram Kattel and MT Thapa. The story, screenplay, dialogues, direction, and lyrics and music are by Ved Prasad Bhurtel, while Navraj Sharma serves as the chief assistant director. Hotel Devoti in Dhangadhi is associated as the hospitality partner of the film.

The connection between culture and generation through the Sarangi
In the film, the Sarangi is presented not merely as a musical instrument but as a symbol of fading communication, the transmission of culture across generations, and the struggle of the modern generation to find its identity. The music, which emphasizes live instrumental sound over artificial digital production, has been composed by Phadindra Rai and Maharaj Thapa, further strengthening the emotional depth of the narrative.

An inspiring story for artists from the Far West
The journey of Amrit Thapa, from nurturing his dreams in Dhangadhi to entering the national film industry, stands as an inspiring example of perseverance, hard work and dedication. His transition from a dance instructor teaching local school students to the lead actor in a national film marks not only personal success but also a significant step in highlighting the art and talent of the Far West at the national level.
