The shooting set of the film ‘Captain Saab’ has been built in Tinkune, Kathmandu, to depict the city as it looked in the 19th century. The production team has recreated the architecture of that era, with the set featuring identical, old-style white attached houses.

“We cannot build dozens of new concrete houses in the busy city of Kathmandu. That’s why we’ve colored and modified the existing ones to achieve the desired effect,” said director Dipendra K Khanal. “We’ve also designed the costumes to match the period.”

The set includes vintage white houses, old vehicles on the streets, Newar community members trading using kharpan and doko, and costumes that reflect the fashion of the time. “Our goal is to authentically portray the era we’re representing,” said Khanal. “We’re doing our best within the limits of our budget and capabilities, which is why we’re focusing on set design.”

The filming of Captain Saab began on July 26. In addition to Kathmandu, shooting will take place in Dhumkharka, Bethanchowk, Chitwan, and Birgunj in Kavre district. The film, directed by Khanal, is a biopic of Capt Rameshwar Thapa, a helicopter pilot, businessman, and media entrepreneur.

Presented by Screenplay Production, Yarsa Studio, and Rich Entertainment, the film stars Khagendra Lamichhane, Suraksha Pant, and Sanjog Rasaili in the lead roles. It is produced by Khanal, Karan Shrestha, and Shrishtima Khanal, with Srijana Napit serving as executive producer.

The screenplay is written by director Khanal and the film is co-directed by Krishna Bahadur Thapa. Saugat Basnet is the chief assistant director. Royal Bhimsen (Trident Concept) is responsible for poster and publicity design, while Aki Thekpa Production Desire, Rohit Raj Gautam, and Bishnu Budhathoki serve as production managers.
