Post-production work, including editing and VFX, is already underway alongside filming. Chaudhary stated, “We are working tirelessly day and night. The shooting will be wrapped up in two weeks, after which we will accelerate post-production. So far, filming has progressed smoothly without any major obstacles.”

An action-drama film, Karma is written by Chaudhary himself. He revealed that Bipin Karki will be seen in an action-packed avatar for the first time in his career.
