Filming Concludes for Dark Comedy 'Zero Degree'

Kathmandu. The filming of the dark comedy film 'Zero Degree' has officially concluded. Produced under the banner of Meghauli Films, the movie wrapped up production following a 37-day shooting schedule.

The entire film was shot in the scenic and authentic settlements around Pokhara, including Armalakot, Dhital, Gharmi, and Bagar. During production, the crew faced significant challenges due to adverse weather conditions.

Despite near-daily rainfall, the shoot continued, with the final stages involving a continuous 30-hour filming session. Director Aakash Baral noted that despite these difficult circumstances, the atmosphere on set remained enjoyable and energetic.

Co-directed and written by Sajan Kafle and Aakash Baral, the film will feature actor Bijay Baral in a completely new avatar. The plot revolves around the chaotic and humorous situations that arise when children living abroad send a 'deep freezer' to a remote village with poor road access to preserve their parents' bodies until they can return home.

The film stars Bijay Baral, Prakash Ghimire, Rajan Bhusal, Sanisha Bhattarai, veteran actress Basundhara Bhusal, Ramesh Budhathoki, Lokendra Lekhak, Sanjog Rasaili, Pravesh Mahatara Chhetri, Sharada Silwal, Sabina Thapa Chhetri, Rambabu Regmi, Subash Gajurel, and Basu Khanal. Moti Karki serves as the executive producer, and the film is shot by Nishan Paudel.

The film will be distributed by Kuber Cine Distribution outside the Kathmandu Valley and by DCN within the valley. According to director Baral, the film is scheduled for release before this year's Bada Dashain.
