KATHMANDU, March 31: A Nepali film, Batulo Jun, is set to hit the screens this Dashain, with its release locked for Fulpati (October 16, 2026). The announcement came as the makers unveiled the film’s poster on the birthday of lead actor Anmol KC on Monday.
The poster features Anmol KC alongside actress Princy Khatiwada, offering a glimpse into the film’s romantic tone. Calling it a birthday gift to his fans, Anmol shared the message: “See you this Dashain,” while expressing gratitude for the continued support he has received throughout his career. He added that he remains open to both praise and constructive criticism.

Produced by Jiya KC and Bhabishya Khadka under the banner of Sunrise Pictures Pvt. Ltd., Batulo Jun weaves a rural love story that blends nostalgia with the present. “Audiences will feel transported to the Nepali society of 30 years ago while still sensing today’s reality,” said producer KC, noting that the film is dedicated to anyone who has experienced love.
Anmol appears in a markedly different avatar in the film, which is directed by his father, veteran actor Bhuwan KC, who also plays a lead role.
The film features a large ensemble cast, including Princy Khatiwada, Nancy Khadka, Prakash Ghimire, Rear Rai, Dipak KC, Shweta Mishra, Laxmi Giri, Sharada Giri, Laxminath Timilsina, Shishir Shiwakoti, Arpana Ghatani, Bibika Poudel, and Kamal Devkota.
Shot across Kathmandu, Myagdi, Nuwakot, Chitlang, and Pokhara, the film is currently in its final phase of production. Executive producer Tej Bikram KC said around 10 percent of filming remains, with the next schedule planned in Pokhara around the Nepali New Year 2083.
