Kathmandu: The second trailer of the movie ‘Himalayan Gold’ has been released. The movie, directed by Dheeraj Rajbanshi in his debut, had its team release a roughly two-minute trailer on Friday. The trailer of the movie, which will be screened from Mangsir 4, presents the story of struggle, looting, betrayal, and revenge that occurs during the collection of Yarsagumba in the Himalayan region.
The released trailer shows the beauty of the Himalayan region and the tough lifestyle there, along with the risks faced by ordinary people who go there to collect Yarsagumba. The film, centered around the valuable herb Yarsagumba, also raises the issue of how far people can go for greed and money.
With just a week left to release, the team has brought out the second trailer to increase the audience’s curiosity. The trailer shows the story of how a character tries to protect herself after encountering a group of robbers. Made with the aim of introducing Nepal’s history, culture, and indigenous identity to the world, this movie offers viewers a different experience through a survival story.
The most emotional aspect of this movie is that it is the last film of veteran Nepali actor Sunil Thapa. In the trailer, he is shown in a different and negative role. Similarly, actors like Karma Shakya are also presented in different characters in the film. The movie also features performances by Menuka Pradhan, Rahul N. Mukhiya, Ankit Khadka, Sunil Tamang, Tenzing Thakuri, Savita Adhikari, and Rishikesh Basyal. According to director Rajbanshi, showing Thapa’s final performance to audiences in Nepal and India would be a fitting tribute to his contribution.
