Tiktoker Sirjana Koirala is debuting in acting through the film ‘Teen Tidhre Kya Bigre’. She, who regularly makes videos on TikTok, was offered the film by producer Raghunath Sapkota and director Amar Deep Sapkota after they saw her on the same platform. “We were looking for a new actress,” says producer Sapkota, “After seeing her video on TikTok, she seemed suitable for our story.” The production team says her performance in this film, which is currently being shot, is satisfactory.
Until a few years ago, new talents had to go through a long audition process and struggle a lot for connections to enter Nepali films, but now, the development of technology and the popularity of TikTok have made the path to entering acting easier.
TikTok has now become not just a medium of entertainment but also a strong gateway to entering the Nepali artistry. Many young women who dream of the big screen without formal training are now shining in films in this way.
The list of those who have risen
The list of those who have risen from TikTok and made their place in films is long. Actress Garima Sharma has already transitioned from TikTok to music videos and then to film acting. Garima, who debuted in films with ‘London to Paris’, has acted in films like ‘Hraswa Deergha’, ‘Jante Bakhro’, ‘Kaji’, among others. She has also debuted in theater through the drama ‘Aavarti’ and is showing good potential in acting.
Similarly, Usha Upreti also successfully made her journey from TikTok through music videos to the film ‘Aabat Aama’. Dozens of her music videos, including ‘Ma Timi Pardeshi’, ‘Chhoto Chha Jindagi’, ‘Yesto Maya’, ‘Makuri’, ‘Sun Sun Ko Tilahari’, are popular. She tasted success with her debut film ‘Aabat Aama’.
Pabitra Saki ‘Miss Pabbi’, who became famous for her original Doteli accent, has worked in the films ‘Magne Raja’ and ‘Mohar’. However, she has gained more fame from advertisements and music videos than from films. She was recently seen in the comedy show ‘Comedy Darbar’.
Iva Giri is also appearing as an actress
Iva Giri is also appearing as an actress in the film ‘Panch Pandav’, which is preparing for release. However, her bold performance in the film’s song and the portrayal of mythological characters are facing severe criticism on social media. The song’s video shows Giri’s casino item dance and senior actor Haribansha Acharya playing cards and dancing. Audiences are objecting, saying that presenting characters from a sacred text like the Mahabharata in a song is a blatant mockery of the Sanatan Dharma.
Smarika Dhakal, who became a famous model after being noticed by a music video director while making TikTok videos in her own village in Jhapa five years ago, started her film journey with the film ‘Mughlan’, which was released last year. Although the film did not do good business, she is happy to have debuted as a heroine.
“The business of the film, how it performed, that’s not my part. I wanted to debut on the big screen, and this film fulfilled that dream,” she says, “I was known as a model, but now I have another identity.”
Tiktoker Princy Khatiwada has also entered the film
Tiktoker Princy Khatiwada has also entered the film industry through music videos and small-screen serials. She is set to appear opposite Anmol KC in the film ‘Batulo Jun’, starring Anmol KC in the lead role. Khatiwada, who has modeled in dozens of Nepali songs, has also acted in Hindi songs.
Similarly, another Tiktoker Geeta Dhungana has also succeeded in entering films. Dhungana, a popular model for many music videos, made her appearance by dancing in a song from the film ‘Dui Kadam’.
Tiktoker Aakriti Rajbhandari has also become a film heroine. Director Dinesh Raut made her a heroine through ‘Kumari’. Although this film, released some time ago, was not successful at the box office, she received good recognition. “I cannot describe in words the happiness of appearing on the big screen for the first time,” she said some time ago, “Many people don’t get such an opportunity even after struggling for years, but I got it quickly.” Rajbhandari now plans to continue acting in films.
Actress and model Bina Raut has also emerged
Actress and model Bina Raut has also emerged from TikTok. After gaining popularity on TikTok, she worked in many popular music videos such as ‘Chadke Mohani’, ‘O Meri Radha’, ‘Yo Aankhai Ma’, ‘Maharani’, ‘Asare Pani’, ‘Timro Herai Ma’, ‘Tyo Oth Ko Muskan’, and debuted in the film ‘Man Bina Ko Dhan’. Although the film did good business at the box office, she did not gain much recognition from her performance.
Around 2017, the use of the social media platform TikTok had become quite prevalent in Nepal. Reshma Ghimire had been very active on TikTok since then.
Receiving good likes, comments, and views on TikTok, she was offered a film by director Arun Kumar Pradhan through ‘Yo Saino Maya Ko’. Reshma, who was looking for acting opportunities, debuted with this film.
The film was released, but its business
The film was released, but its business was not as expected; nor did she gain recognition from her acting. After that, she pursued nursing studies. Reshma was seen after a long time in the film ‘Antim Sanskar’, released in 2080 BS, but it also did not bring her success.
