After being stalled for over a year by the pandemic, the producers of ‘Mantra’ have announced a release date of January 11. The movie, directed by Khil Bahadur Gurung, features Saugat Malla, Diya Pun and Buddi Tamang in lead roles.

The film, produced under the banner of Gorkha Siran Chowk and Liglig Kot Films, captures the beautiful scenery of the Himalayas and has been touted as a ‘Himalayan love story’. Director Gurung says Mantra is an organic film which was partly shot at the base camp of Manaslu at an altitude of over 5,100 meters.

The film also stars Namita Ghising, Bir Bahadur Lama, and Pasang T Sherpa.
