Trailer Released for 'Shivansh: Chapter 1', Featuring Actor in Ascetic Guise Involved in Crime

The film 'Shivansh: Chapter 1', set to release on Falgun 1 coinciding with the occasion of Mahashivaratri, has released its trailer. The trailer attempts to depict criminal activities while the main character is disguised as Lord Shiva.

While appearing as an ascetic who has renounced worldly desires and lives a simple life from the outside, the trailer clearly shows how terrifying his inner cruel mentality and behavior are. The film will tell the story of a person involved in heinous crimes like murder under the guise of a hermit.

Actor Praveen Khatiwada is shown in the look of a sage in the film, which is said to present a fascinating blend of ancient Hindu beliefs and modern-day mystery. He is desperately seeking some divine power or 'siddhi' (supernatural power). The ash on his body, the trident in his hand, and the frenzy in his eyes hint at a powerful 'anti-hero' or mysterious character in the film.

The core story of the film revolves around a mysterious divine stone (rock) and the power or destruction it could unleash in the Kali Yuga. The trailer shows caves, chanting of mantras, and tantric rituals on one side, while on the other, it shows laptops, modern weapons, and police investigations. This suggests that the film is not just a religious story but is based on the conflict arising when ancient power meets the modern era.

Directed by Santosh Kumar Atreya, the film stars Praveen, along with Tej Giri, Bimala Limbu, and Rusa Neupane in lead roles. Actors like Bikash Joshi, Pradipkumar Chaudhary, Sabir Churoute, Udaykumar Subba, and Tika Neupane can also be seen in the film.

The film, based on a story by Anjan KC, has a screenplay by Barat Limbu. Anjan KC is the producer, with Shobha Bhandari and Anish KC Bogati as co-producers, and Shambhu Thapa as the executive producer. Director Atreya states that 'Shivansh: Chapter 1', based on mythological themes in Nepali cinema, will offer something new to the audience.
