The COVID-19 pandemic has impeded every business activity in Nepal including the film industry.
Owing to the uncertainty around COVID-19 lockdown, the producers of much-awaited ‘Chhakka Panja 4 (CP4)’ have canceled the production of the movie.
“We have canceled the plan for CP4 now. Instead, we will produce another movie for the new Year 2078,” said producer Deepak Raj Giri.

The producer has decided to release CP4 movie in Dashain next year as the COVID-19 situation will not be normal in 2077 Dashain.
