The film’s poster, released on Friday, February 2 (on the occasion of Valentine’s Day), confirms that the movie will hit theaters on Jestha 30, next year.
One of the posters features actor Saugat Malla going live on social media after going viral.

Produced under the banners of The GMI Academy and Nirvana Film School, the movie features Saugat Malla, Srishti Shrestha, Buddhi Tamang, Laxmi Giri, Rajaram Poudel, and journalist Rishi Dhamala. The producers are Vishal Tamrakar, Mahesh Lamichhane, and Kewal Jung Kunwar, while Bhuvan Adhikari and Nikhil Poudel serve as co-producers.
