British actor Jamie Bacon and Nepalese star Pradeep Khadka are set to headline director Pradeep Shahi’s upcoming sci-fi film ‘Eklo’.
According to PTI, ‘Eklo’ marks the directorial debut of Pradeep Shahi and will be the first science fiction film to emerge from Nepal.
The narrative unfolds in a futuristic version of Earth, where a deadly viral epidemic compels humanity to abandon the planet in 2030. Sixty years later, British space agency astronaut Zach, portrayed by Jamie Bacon, embarks on a reconnaissance mission. However, Zach and his partner find themselves crash-landing in the Himalayan region of Nepal.
The film promises to blend elements of science fiction with the rich cultural backdrop of Nepal, offering audiences a unique and immersive cinematic experience.
Further details about the project, including additional cast members and production timelines, are yet to be revealed.
‘Eklo’ represents an exciting venture into uncharted territory for both Nepalese cinema and the science fiction genre, with Bacon and Khadka poised to bring Shahi’s vision to life on the silver screen.
