The trailer for the film ‘Pashupati Prasad 2: Bhasme Don’, directed by Dipendra K Khanal, has been released. The trailer was launched amid an event at Labim Mall in Lalitpur. The film will depict the ups and downs in Bipin Karki’s life, reprising his role as ‘Bhasme Don’, seven years after the release of the first part, ‘Pashupati Prasad’.
Speaking at the event, Khanal stated, “We hope the audience will embrace the second part as warmly as they did the first. The film has been crafted exactly as the movie team envisioned, and we believe audiences will love this film too.”

The film’s actress, Swastima Khadka, said, “Actresses rarely get the chance to portray diverse roles. I had the opportunity to deliver a new performance not only in this film but also in other works of Director Khanal. The role of ‘Durga Mata’ in this film was challenging. I extend my gratitude to the entire production team for entrusting me with this character.”
Produced under the Tuki Arts banner, the film stars Karki and Khadka, along with Saugat Malla, Barsha Siwakoti, Prakash Ghimire, Rabindra Singh Baniya, Sajan Thapa Magar, Prakash Dahal, Bishu Poudel, and Ghanshyam Joshi, among others.
