Hairan, a film directed by Saugat Bista, who was noted by the Guiness Book of World Records as the “youngest director of a professionally made feature length film”, has dropped its first trailer on Youtube. Saugat directed his first feature-length film, Love You Baba (2014), at the age of seven.

Love You Baba told the story of a single father’s attempt to fend for his 10-year-old daughter. With the film, Bista received several awards despite the film tanking at the box office.

Hairan, however, is slated to bring to the screen a story based on a social issue, according to producers. Speaking at a press meet, actor and producer Gajit Bista shared that the movie tries to portray the day-to-day struggles of commoners in a new Nepal. Director Saugat, speaking about the film, said, “While I presented a family drama in my debut directorial, Hairan is a social drama and is a mix of comedy and action. With the film, we are trying to present the story of characters who face several obstacles while going about their daily lives.”

Hairan will also mark the cinematic comeback for singer-turned-actor Satya Raj Acharya.

Acharya, who won plaudits as an actor after playing the role of his own father in Acharya (2011), a biopic on ‘Bhajan Siromani’ Bhakta Raj Acharya, is slated to play the lead role in Hairan.

Alongside Acharya, Hairan features actors Gajit Bista, Nishma Ghimire, Saroj Khanl, and Buddhi Tamang in lead roles.  The background score is composed by the duo of Satyaraj Acharya and Sworup Raj Acharya.

Hairan will hit screens nationwide on May 18.
