KATHMANDU: A new film titled ‘Monalisa: Bloody Love’ is set to be produced through a joint investment by Nepali and Indian filmmakers. The production team unveiled the film’s first look on the occasion of Tihar.

Presented by PG Studio, the film will be produced by Prasant Giri. The production team aims to make it on an international scale.

King Yogi will handle the writing and direction, while Sachit Khadka will serve as executive producer.

According to the production team, pre-production work is currently underway in Hyderabad and Bengaluru, India. Filming is scheduled to begin in Asar.

Around 30 per cent of the film will be shot in Nepal, with the remaining 70 per cent filmed in India. The team also plans to shoot important scenes at Ramoji Film City in India.

The film will feature actors from both Nepal and India, including several Nepali and Indian performers. However, the cast has not yet been announced.

The production team says it is working with established Indian companies and experienced technical crews for most post-production work. This includes editing, colour grading, sound design, visual effects, digital intermediate and promotional material design.

The film is being planned for release in five languages, including Nepali and Hindi. The producers have also begun discussions with leading international over-the-top (OTT) platforms about distribution and release, with the aim of reaching audiences worldwide.

With the release of its first look, the production team expects to build audience interest in the film’s story, cast, production details and international release plans.
