With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and consequent headwinds in Nepal, the film industry has taken a severe hit.<\/p>\n
With the implementation of government regulations and rules amid the pandemic, the cinema halls across the country have remained closed for the last six months, losing investments worth over NPR 1 billion.<\/p>\n
According to the Nepali Film Development Board Chairman Dayaram Dahal, around 60 Nepali films were severely hit by the pandemic, pushing 300,000 people into unemployment.<\/p>\n
“Around 22 Nepali movies which were about to be released have been held, and the pandemic has seriously frustrated the further investment in the movie industries in Nepal,” exclaimed Dahal.<\/p>\n
