Youngest Cast Member Aviral Pratap Adhikari Shares Memorable Experiences from Upcoming Film 'Ek Muthi Badal'

Kathmandu. Actor Aviral Pratap Adhikari is the youngest member of the film 'Ek Muthi Badal'. He was not only the youngest in the film but also the youngest member of the shooting unit. However, he was the first to audition for the film.

The film spent 6-7 years shaping the screenplay into its current form. During this process, the production team auditioned Aviral for the role of the brother.

'At that time, I was only 17 years old. I had no knowledge of acting nor prior experience. I sent a two-page scene, acting according to my own judgment,' he said. 'Director Sahara didi said she would inform me later.' 'It took 5 years for the news to finally come. After auditioning once more, I finally worked on this film.'

However, he considers the day he was selected from the audition as the most unforgettable moment of his life. This film not only fulfilled his dream of acting but also gave him his first plane ride. Aviral says, 'I took my first plane ride when I went to Pokhara for the shooting of this film. It felt like an adventure. Besides that, the experience on the set of this film was also memorable. I even cried emotionally on the last day of shooting.'

Aviral has inherited artistic qualities. His grandfather is the famous poet and lyricist Kshetrapratap Adhikari, and his father is program director and commentator Amanpratap Adhikari. Following this family legacy, he stepped into films after starting with theater. After 'Ek Muthi Badal', he has also acted in a significant role in 'Pari Butol'.

'My speaking style off-screen is different, but I spoke differently in the film. Having grown up with my sister at home, it was easy to understand the brother-sister dynamics in the film. But the brother I am with at home is different from the brother in the film,' Aviral said.

'Ek Muthi Badal', written and directed by Sahara Sharma, is set to be released on Jestha 1. The film features performances by Nisha Sharma, Shekhar Chapagain, Aanchal Sharma, Usha Rajak, Manish Niroula, Gaurav Bisht, Sahayog Raj Adhikari, Bhima Mainali, Asmita Gautam, among others.
