Forthcoming Nepali feature film Saayad 2 is slated for a March, 2017 release. The announcement was made amid a function held in the Capital on Sunday.

Saayad 2 is a sequel to 2012’s Saayad. Saayad, directed by Suraj Subba ‘Nalbo’, told the story of intergenerational friction in a rapidly evolving Nepali society.

During the press meet, Saayad 2’s producer, Sunil Rawal, informed that the sequel will also revolve around similar motifs. “It is a coming-of-age story and, naturally, our target audience is the youth. Keeping that in mind, we have decided to release the movie a few weeks before the SLC exams,” said Rawal.

The producers also announced that the film has granted screening rights to various film screeners overseas. Among others, Namaste Entertainment has acquired screening rights in Australia for Rs 1,600,000, while Umesh Rawal has acquired screening rights for the United States for the same amount.

Saayad 2 is directed by Pushpa Raj Neupane and features actors Sushil Shrestha, Syaron Shrestha, Amrit Dhungana, and Nisha Karki in lead roles.
